Title: Geographies Of Dance Body Movement And Corporeal Negotiations
Description: "Geographies of dance: body, movement and corporeal negotiations" provides a theoretical and practical examination of the relationships between, bodies, dance, and space. Using ten case studies, this book illustrates the symbolic power of dance that is crafted by choreographers and acted out by dancers. The essays portray a multitude of ways in which public and private spaces--stages, buildings, and town squares, as well as natural environments--are transformed and made meaningful by dance. Furthermore, the contributors explore the meaning of dance as emotionally experienced by dancers and examine how movement in certain spaces create meaning without the use of words or symbols" -- Back cover.
