Overview

This book examines a creative approach to exploring choreographic practice artistically, theoretically, and pedagogically. It explores the interweaving of dance, dance teaching, dance onto-epistemologies, and choreography with a particular focus on creating dance with digital technologies. The idea of centring choreography in dance education fundamentally challenges typical conceptions of best practice in the preparation and delivery, appropriateness, and effectiveness of dance performance, teaching and learning experiences. It purposefully privileges creativity as a critical learning paradigm, extending the ways in which creativity studies are enriching performance scholarship as well as performance teaching. The book acknowledges the importance of the artist teacher nexus and presents choreographic practice as the centre of learning in dance, with a focus on digital platforms.
