About this Item

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This collection presents a selection of essays written from a point of view that has dance, movement, or performance at its centre, and examines the intellectual and material relationship to the art form from which they are conceived. The themes that emerge from the authors' contributions signify a desire to explore individual techniques in making art or unravelling the techniques of others within the composition of visual art and its contemporary movement language. Similarly, textual, and pictorial representations depict both antiquated and modern art and all their social aspects of human life. Digitization also remains a strong focus in both dance and its representation in performance contexts and place in social constructs of societies.
