Google Preview: This volume provides a theoretical and practical examination of the relationships between bodies, dance and space. Using ten case studies, it illustrates the symbolic power of dance that is crafted by choreographers and acted out by dancers. The book portrays a multitude of ways in which public and private spaces (stages, buildings, town squares as well as natural environments) are transformed and made meaningful by dance. Furthermore, it explores the meaning of dance as emotionally experienced by dancers, and examines how movement in certain spaces creates meaning without the use of words or symbols.; Introduction Olaf Kuhlke and Adam Pine Chapter 1: Modernity, Post-modernity and the Paradigmatic Mudra: Corporeal Negotiations in the Works of Toronto's Contemporary Bharatanatyam Choreographers Paromita Kar Chapter 2: Neighboring in Strip City: Local Conflict and Spaces of Exotic Dance in Portland, Oregon Moriah McSharry McGrath Chapter 3: One Foot Inside the Circle: Contemporary Dance of Los Angeles Steps Outside Postmodernism and into Neo-Modernism-with-a-Twist Teresa Heiland Chapter 4: Some Dance to Remember: The Emotional Politics of Marginality, Reinvention, Embodied Memory, and All that (Cape) Jazz Tamara M.
