"Published in conjunction with DANSE: a French-American Festival of Performance and Ideas presented in New York from May 1st to May 18, 2014."--Colophon

"DANSE: an anthology gathers key writings on choreography across the French, U.S., and international dance scenes since the turn of the century. It traces the ways in which contemporary dance has become a site for vital experiments on questions of the body, identity, belonging, knowledge economies, and globalization. This dynamic and wide-ranging collection maps the numerous exchanges between Francophone and Anglophone performance cultures and critical thought."--Page [4] of cover
