Description
The concept of "worldmaking" is based on the idea that "the world" is not given, but rather produced through language, actions, ideas and perception.
This collection of essays takes a closer look at various hybrid and disparate worlds related to dance and choreography.
Coming from a broad range of different backgrounds and disciplines, the authors inquire into the ways of producing "dance worlds": through artistic practice, discourse and media, choreographic form and dance material.The essays in this volume critically reflect the predominant topos of dance as something fleeting and ephemeral - an embodiment of the Other in modernity.
Moreover, they demonstrate that there is more than just one universal "world of dance", but rather a multitude of interrelated dance worlds with more emerging every day.
