[A] proficient collection... --<em>The Dance Current</em>

"""[A] proficient collection...""--The Dance Current ""A collection of theoretical writings, The Oxford Handbook of Screendance Studies acts as a curator, contextualizing the discourse brewing at the nexus of cinema, media, dance, and performance. The essays Rosenberg (art, Univ. of Wisconsin, Madison; editor, the International Journal of Screendance) brings together offer diverse analytical perspectives on historical, anthropological, and political landscapes. Arranged in sections devoted to history, theory, and practice, the 36 essays illuminate technologically oriented movement research, using the body as center.""--Choice"

[A] proficient collection... --The Dance Current

Rosenbergs work with video installations and his writings on dance for the camera have radicalized the way audiences think about dance and film. With this compilation, he calls for exploring space and medium with the body as center. * G. King, Choice *
