Description
This collection of essays and interviews explores modern-dance technique training from the last fifty years. Focusing on the culture of dance, Melanie Bales and Rebecca Nettl-Fiol examine choreographic process and style, dancer agency and participation in the creative process, and changes in the role and purpose of training.
The contributors bring recent writings on dance into dialogue with dance practice, considering how technique training both guides and reflects the art of dance. The result is a nuanced exploration of the relationship between training practices and choreographic style and content.
