Reviews
‘Aimed at an audience of political theorists and dance and performance students and scholars, the technical language and critical readings of Jacques Rancière, among others, can make for heavy going for the untutored enthusiast. But as Mills develops the discussion, she moves away from abstract theory and into a series of case studies that start with Isadora Duncan’s 1907 Musical Moment. It’s at this point that the arguments within Dance and politics begin to intersect and gain clarity.’ Susan Darlington, The Morning Star ‘Dance and Politics: Moving Beyond Boundaries offers a fresh and essentially optimistic exploration of the political dimensions of dance.’ Victoria Thoms, Centre for Dance Research (C-DaRE), Coventry University, Dance Review Journal -- .
