Increasingly, choreographic process is examined, shared and discussed in a variety of academic, artistic and performative contexts. More than ever before, post-show discussions, artistic blogs, books, archives and seminars provide opportunities for choreographers to explain their particular methodologies. Performing Process: Sharing Dance and Choreographic Practice provides a unique theoretical investigation of this current trend. The chapters in this collection examine the methods, politics and philosophy of sharing choreographic process, aiming to uncover theoretical repercussions of and the implications for forms of knowledge, the appreciation of dance, education and artistic practices.

Reviews

'This timely book is a welcome update to the discourse on the enduring topics of process and performance that remain critical for situating, and provoking, artistic practice.'

-- Alexandra Baybutt, Dance Research, Vol. 37, No. 1: 118-120

'In focusing on relationships between process and product, this book offers insights for choreographers, dance students, and those interested in knowledge-generative features of creative pro-cesses. [...] The increased growth in practice-as-research within the academy, as well as the benefits for practitioners and audiences demonstrated throughout its chapters, reinforce why this book is vital for both the artistic and scholarly future of our discipline.'

-- Lucia Piquero Alvarez, Dance Research Journal
