Moving Sites explores site-specific dance practice through a
combination of analytical essays and practitioner accounts of their
working processes. In offering this joint effort of theory and
practice, it aims to provide dance academics, students and
practitioners with a series of discussions that shed light both on
approaches to making this type of dance practice, and evaluating
and reflecting on it. The edited volume combines critical thinking
from a range of perspectives including commentary and observation
from the fields of dance studies, human geography and spatial
theory in order to present interdisciplinary discourse and a range
of critical and practice-led lenses through which this type of work
can be considered and explored. In so doing, this book addresses
the following questions: * How do choreographers make site-specific
dance performance? * What occurs when a moving body engages with
site, place and environment? * How might we interpret, analyse and
evaluate this type of dance practice through a range of theoretical
lenses? * How can this type of practice inform wider discussions of
embodiment, site, space, place and environment? This innovative and
exciting book seeks to move beyond description and discussion of
site-specific dance as a spectacle or novelty and considers
site-dance as a valid and vital form of contemporary dance practice
that explores, reflects, disrupts, contests and develops
understandings and practices of inhabiting and engaging with a
range of sites and environments. Dr Victoria Hunter is Senior
Lecturer in Dance at the University of Chichester.
