This volume raises useful questions about the politics of art's interventions into the public realm and gives insight into the pragmatic challenges of making site dance.\"--Fiona Wilkie, Roehampton University \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In recent years, site-specific dance has grown in popularity. In the wake of groundbreaking work by choreographers who left traditional performance spaces for other venues, more and more performances are cropping up on skyscrapers, in alleyways, on trains, on the decks of aircraft carriers, and in a myriad of other unexpected locations worldwide.\u003cbr\u003e In \u003ci\u003eSite Dance\u003c\/i\u003e, the first anthology to examine site-specific dance, editors Melanie Kloetzel and Carolyn Pavlik explore the work that choreographers create for nontraditional performance spaces and the thinking behind their creative choices. Combining interviews with and essays by some of the most prominent and influential practitioners of site dance, they look at the challenges and rewards of embracing alternative spaces. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The close examinations of the work of artists like Meredith Monk, Joanna Haigood, Stephan Koplowitz, Heidi Duckler, Ann Carlson, and Eiko Otake provide important insights into why choreographers leave the theatre to embrace the challenges of unconventional venues. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eSite Dance\u003c\/i\u003e also includes more than 80 photographs of site-specific performances, revealing how the arts, and movement in particular, can become part of and speak to our everyday lives. Celebrating the often unexpected beauty and juxtapositions created by site dance, the book is essential reading for anyone curious about the way that these choreographers are changing our experience of the world one step at a time. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eMelanie Kloetzel\u003c\/b\u003e is associate professor of dance at the University of Calgary. \u003cb\u003eCarolyn Pavlik \u003c\/b\u003eis associate professor of dance at Western Michigan University.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMelanie Kloetzel\u003c\/b\u003e is associate professor of dance at the University of Calgary. \u003cb\u003eCarolyn Pavlik \u003c\/b\u003eis associate professor of dance at Western Michigan University.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 336\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.1 x 9.1 x 6.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 27, 2011\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47577236013277,"sku":"9780813036939","price":29.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/rSPgpo3xkY9780813036939_ffdee760-643a-40f6-ab97-ae9c2c8ce73e.webp?v=1773476062","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/site-dance-choreographers-and-the-lure-of-alternative-spaces-paperback-1","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
