This Companion documents and celebrates artistic journeys within
the framework of rich and complex cultural heritages and
traditional dance practices of the Asia-Pacific region. It presents
various dance forms from Australia, Cambodia, China, Hong Kong,
India, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan,
Thailand, and the South Pacific. Drawing on extensive research and
decades of performative experience as artists, choreographers,
producers, teachers, and critics, the authors approach issues of
dance and cultural diversity from a theoretical perspective while
at the same time exploring change, process, and transformation
through dance. The book discusses themes such as tradition,
contemporization, interdisciplinarity, dance education, youth
dance, dance networks, curatorial practices, and evolving
performative practices of dance companies and independents. It also
looks at regional networking, curating dance festivals and spaces
that foster collaboration, regional cooperation, and cultural
exchange, which are essential features of dance in Asia and the
Pacific. This collection will be of interest to students and
researchers of pedagogy, choreography, community dance practice,
theatre and performance studies, social and cultural studies,
aesthetics, interdisciplinary arts, and more. It will be an
invaluable resource for artists and practitioners working in dance
schools and communities.
