This revised second edition addresses the needs of an ever-evolving field, with new contributions considering the role of digital media in dance practice; the expansion of performance philosophy; and the increasing importance of practice-as-research. A two-part structure divides the book's contributions into: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e- Why Dance History? - the ideas, issues and key conversations that underpin any study of the history of theatrical dance. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e- Researching and Writing - discussions of the methodologies and approaches behind any successful research in this area. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEveryone involved with dance creates and carries with them a history, and this volume explores the ways in which these histories might be used in performance-making - from memories which establish identity to re-invention or preservation through shared and personal heritages. Considering the potential significance of studying dance history for scholars, philosophers, choreographers, dancers and students alike, \u003ci\u003eRethinking Dance History\u003c\/i\u003e is an essential starting point for anyone intrigued by the rich history and many directions of dance. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGeraldine Morris is a Reader in Dance and Programme Leader of the MA in Ballet Studies at the University of Roehampton. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLarraine Nicholas is Honorary Research Fellow in the Dance Department at the University of Roehampton.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 258\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 9.1 x 6.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 21, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42127507128455,"sku":"9781138682917","price":89.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/073f7f337a6308caf91c77628159fb05.webp?v=1732589027","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/rethinking-dance-history-issues-and-methodologies-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
