Produktbeschreibung

The Oxford Handbook of Dance and Theater brings together genres, aesthetics, cultural practices, and historical movements that provide insight into humanist concerns at the crossroads of dance and theater, broadening the horizons of scholarship in the performing arts and moving the fields closer together. In doing so, it demonstrates that physical performance and the intersections of theater and dance are more than musical theater, story ballet, or contemporary dance theater.
