In offering this joint effort of theory and practice; it aims to provide dance academics; students and practitioners with a series of discussions that shed light both on approaches to making this type of dance practice; and evaluating and reflecting on it. ?The edited volume combines critical thinking from a range of perspectives including commentary and observation from the fields of dance studies; human geography and spatial theory in order to present interdisciplinary discourse and a range of critical and practice-led lenses through which this type of work can be considered and explored. In so doing; this book addresses?the following questions: middot;???????? How do choreographers make site-specific dance performance?middot;???????? What occurs when a moving?body engages with site; place and environment?middot;???????? How might we interpret; analyse and evaluate this type of dance practice through a range of theoretical lenses?middot;???????? How can this type of practice inform wider discussions of embodiment; site; space; place and environment??This innovative and exciting book seeks to move beyond description and discussion of site-specific dance as a spectacle or novelty and considers site-dance as a valid and vital form of contemporary dance practice that explores; reflects; disrupts; contests and develops understandings and practices of inhabiting and engaging with a range of sites and environments.Dr Victoria Hunter is Senior Lecturer in Dance at the University of Chichester.
