"Finally an answer to that vexed question, 'What is dance
dramaturgy?' This is a brilliantly nuanced account of a new role in
contemporary performance, drawing on an extended collaboration but
relevant for the entire field."--Susan Manning, Northwestern
University
"Dramaturgy in Motion should be read by everyone with a stake in
this gorgeously troublesome endeavor we call performance. On every
page of this deeply generous work there is something to provoke, to
reassure, to challenge, to question--and always, to
savor."--Claudia La Rocco, School of Visual Arts, New York City
"In five compelling chapters--text and language, research,
audience, movement, interculturality--Dramaturgy in Motion provides
a practical resource, equally valuable for theatre dramaturgs and
devisers as it will be for dance dramaturgs and
choreographers."--DD Kugler, Simon Fraser University
"Lays out the bigger historical picture as well as the nitty-gritty
realities of a working dance dramaturg. There is also much to think
about in terms of developing a dramaturgical point of view as a
tool that could be useful for the whole team of collaborators,
including the dancers."--Dance International
"This deeply introspective, exquisitely researched book advances
the field."--Dance Chronicle
