Movements of Interweaving is a rich collection of essays exploring
the concept of interweaving performance cultures in the realms of
movement, dance, and corporeality. Focusing on dance performances
as well as on scenarios of cultural movements on a global scale, it
not only challenges the concept of intercultural dance
performances, but through its innovative approach also calls
attention to the specific qualities of "interweaving" as a form of
movement itself. Divided into four sections, this volume features
an international team of scholars together developing a new
critical perspective on the cultural practices of movement, travel
and migration in and beyond dance.
* This collection builds a broad basis for a possible and necessary
paradigmatic shift in the field of theater and performance
historiography. * Would be recommended reading in for any
undergraduate or master's level students studying theatre history,
drama and dance. * The closest competitors do not explore the term
'entangled histories'. Therefore this collection breaks new ground
by looking at this concept as a new paradigm in the field.

As performative and political acts, translation, intervention, and
participation are movements that take place across, along, and
between borders. Such movements traverse geographic boundaries,
affect social distinctions, and challenge conceptual
categorizations - while shifting and transforming lines of
separation themselves. This book brings together choreographers,
movement practitioners, and theorists from various fields and
disciplines to reflect upon such dynamics of difference. From their
individual cultural backgrounds, they ask how these movements
affect related fields such as corporeality, perception,
(self-)representation, and expression.
