Dancing Bodies, Living Histories highlights significant new directions in dance studios, showing how dance leaps across disciplinary boundaries and divisions between the academe and cultural practice. Touching upon history, cultural studies, film, and queer studies, Dancing Bodies links dance to other studies in the humanities and social sciences.
"Dancing Bodies, Living Histories stages a set of illuminating connections between cultural theory and dancing practices, examining the body in an exhilarating range of performances." - Susan Leigh Foster, Professor, University of California
Awards

They say its balance between critique and contextualized analysis led to an impressive application of a postcolonial perspective to Canadian dancers.
