Description
Europe Dancing explores the diverse dance cultures and movements that have emerged in Europe since the Second World War. This comprehensive collection brings together nine countries in a unique collaboration between European dance scholars.
The contributors examine the art form, discussing outside influences that have shaped it, as well as questions of identity within individual countries, within Europe, and in relation to the USA. They also explore the development of state subsidy for dance, the rise of contemporary dance as an 'alternative' genre, and its implications for dance in the face of political, economic, and social change.
Useful historical charts are included to trace significant dance and political events throughout the twentieth century in each country. This book provides a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the growth and development of dance in recent years.
