This book addresses the need for critical scholarship about
contemporary dance practices in Ireland. Bringing together key
voices from a new wave of scholarship to examine recent practice
and research in the field of contemporary dance, it examines the
excitingly diverse range of choreographers and works that are
transforming Ireland's performance landscape. The first section
provides a chronologically-ordered collection of critical essays to
ground the reader in some of the most important issues currently at
play in contemporary dance in Ireland. The second section then
provides an interrogation of individual choreographers' processes.
The book traces new choreographic work and trends through a broad
array of topics, including somatics in performance, screendance,
cultural trauma, dance archives, affect studies, feminist
perspectives, choreographic process, the dancer's voice,
interdisciplinarity, and pedagogical paradigms.

This volume of essays adopts a multi-faceted approach to questions
surrounding dying and death. It features contributions from those
working within the areas of palliative care, healthcare chaplaincy,
philosophy, and theology. Among the topics covered are: the
transformative power of palliative care; spiritual care at the end
of life; a philosophical perspective on dying, death, and dignity;
prudential judgment in end-of-life decision making; perinatal
death; compassionate accompaniment of the bereaved; honoring the
sacred story of the dying; reflecting on the Order of Christian
Funerals; scriptural perspectives on mortality; the significance of
music in the funeral liturgy; how the afterlife has been imagined
within the Christian tradition; and the 'liturgy' of the Irish
Wake. With questions for further discussion and reflection at the
end of each chapter, all who wish to think more deeply about issues
surrounding dying, death, and the care of the terminally ill, will
find this collection timely and thought-provoking.
