From the dance floor of a tango club to group therapy classes, from
ballet to community theatre, improvised dance is everywhere. For
some dance artists, improvisation is one of many approaches within
the choreographic process. For others, it is a performance form in
its own right. And while it has long been practiced, it is only
within the last twenty years that dance improvisation has become a
topic of critical inquiry. With The Oxford Handbook of
Improvisation in Dance, dancer, teacher, and editor Vida L.
Midgelow provides a cutting-edge volume on dance improvisation in
all its facets. Expanding beyond conventional dance frameworks,
this handbook looks at the ways that dance improvisation practices
reflect our ability to adapt, communicate, and respond to our
environment. Throughout the handbook, case studies from a variety
of disciplines showcase the role of individual agency and
collective relationships in improvisation, not just to dancers but
to people of all backgrounds and abilities. In doing so, chapters
celebrate all forms of improvisation, and unravel the ways that
this kind of movement informs understandings of history,
socio-cultural conditions, lived experience, cognition, and
technologies.
