This book takes as its point of departure diverse conventions of
and perspectives on practices and discourses in dance. The
anthology is strongly motivated by the fact that space continues to
be explored and debated within dance practices and studies as well
as the human sciences more generally. Yet, there are still only few
publications offering a contemporary view on how the relation
between movement and space can be tied to the descriptions and
analyses of actual movement practice. Already owing to its embodied
nature, dance is essentially spatial. It forms, produces, and takes
place in space. It is thus no coincidence that dance studies have
increasingly begun to address the complex issue of movement and
space. This anthology aims to link conceptual descriptions that
concern space as process and in process to the undertakings of
specific movement practices in dance. The articles in the anthology
address how historical and geopolitical influences impact our
understanding and practice of dance art. In them, the kinds of
spaces and interrelationships, which different forms of dancing
generate, are considered. Aspects of embodied space that dancing
relies upon are likewise discussed. Through case examples, the
articles take a closer look on how recent artistic practice in
dance utilises given environments and constructs space.
