<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Ten international dramaturg-scholars advance proposals that reset notions of agency in contemporary dance creation. Dramaturgy becomes driven by artistic inquiry, distributed among collaborating artists, embedded in improvisation tasks, or weaved through audience engagement, and the dramaturg becomes a facilitator of dramaturgical awareness.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"The book is a dynamic and engaging 'performance lab' for dramaturgs, dancers, and choreographers interested in the field of dance dramaturgy. ... There is little doubt that Hansen and Callison have curated an anthology that will be a touchstone for our field." (Jess Applebaum, Dance Research Journal, Vol. 49 (3), December, 2017) <p/>"The collection includes nine compelling essays and an overview from Hansen that serves to outline the (fuzzy, porous, kinetic) contours of dance dramaturgy in the twenty-first century. The essays describe the dance dramaturg using various theoretical and practical models practiced by the authors. Dance Dramaturgy, like most essay collections, necessarily offers breadth, touching down rather than diving deep into its subject ... . This study offers much to consider for scholars, practitioners, and educators alike."
