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.

Increasingly, choreographic process is examined, shared and
discussed in a variety of academic, artistic and performative
contexts. More than ever before, post-show discussions, artistic
blogs, books, archives and seminars provide opportunities for
choreographers to explain their particular methodologies.
Performing Process: Sharing Dance and Choreographic Practice
provides a unique theoretical investigation of this current trend.
The chapters in this collection examine the methods, politics and
philosophy of sharing choreographic process, aiming to uncover
theoretical repercussions of and the implications for forms of
knowledge, the appreciation of dance, education and artistic
practices.
