Contemporary Choreography

Fully revised and updated, this third edition of Contemporary Choreography presents a range of articles covering choreographic enquiry, investigation into creative processes, and innovative challenges to understandings about dance-making.

Contributions from a global range of practitioners and researchers address a spectrum of concerns in the field, organised into six broad domains:

• Processes of making
• Culture, contexts and intersections
• Choreography, politics and power
• Choreography and interdisciplinary arts practice
• Technology, transmission and immersion
• Choreographic environments and interventions

Including 24 new chapters and six updated ones, Contemporary Choreography captures the essence and progress of choreography in the third decade of the twenty-first century, supporting and encouraging rigorous thinking and research for future generations of dance practitioners and scholars.

Jo Butterworth was previously Professor of Dance Studies at the University of Malta.

Vicky Hunter is a practitioner-researcher and Visiting Research Fellow in Site Dance at Bath Spa University, UK.
