Dance Spaces

Beskrivelse

Dance Spaces explores the intricate relationship between movement and space within the realm of dance. This collection dives into how dance, by its very nature, is deeply connected to spatial experience.

Examining the dynamic connection between dance practices and the spaces they inhabit.

Dance Spaces: Practices of Movement begins with a wide-ranging look at various traditions and viewpoints surrounding dance practices and their discourses. The book is driven by the ongoing exploration and debate about space in dance studies and the broader human sciences. Despite this interest, there are still few works that offer a modern perspective on how movement and space interact in actual dance practice. Since dance is inherently embodied, it naturally forms, shapes, and unfolds in space. This is why contemporary dance studies increasingly focus on the complex interplay of movement and spatiality.

This anthology connects theoretical ideas about space as both a process and something in process with the realities of specific dance practices. The essays explore how historical and geopolitical contexts influence our understanding and execution of dance as an art form. They consider the types of spaces and relationships that different dance styles create, as well as the embodied spatial aspects that dancers depend on. Using case studies, the contributors closely examine how current artistic dance practices engage with existing environments and actively construct space.
