Contemporary dance is as seductive as it

is unsettling. Provocative, funny, challenging,

touching; dance con at times be perceived

as inaccessible. Yet for over thirty years,

dance has been shattering our deeply-held

beliefs and offering new perspectives on

the world around us. Today, the wide variety

of dance styles, the mixing of genres, and

its interplay with the worlds of theater,

music, and the visual arts have given dance

new creative potential.

This richly illustrated book offers a comprehensive

and accessible introduction to

contemporary dance, outlining its origins,

current movements, and emerging trends

emanating from across the globe. Talk About

Contemporary Dance captivates the reader

and offers the keys to understand and

appreciate this vibrant art form.
