CONTEMPORARY CHOREOGRAPHY: A CRITICAL READER
Jo Butterworth and Liesbeth Wildschut are editors of this reader, which aims to provide a key text for choreography for a wide variety of students and practitioners. It synthesises practical and critical perspectives to enable detailed interrogation of the nature of choreography in selected contexts, helping to develop critical perspectives on contemporary dance-making practices and processes from multiple points of view. The contributors are respected practitioner/researchers from Europe, America, Africa, the Asian-Pacific and Australasia, who analyse their personal practice or the artistic endeavours of others within a framework of wider contexts. Forthcoming May 2009.
