While dance is integral to so much immersive theatre, its contribution remains relatively covert. Ritter has written a much-needed book to work through the production and reception of choreography within this contemporary performance form. * Kate Elswit, author of Theatre & Danceand Watching Weimar Dance * Tandem Dances makes a welcome intervention in a field that has marginalised the perspectives and insights of dance scholars, dancers, choreographers, and choreographed audiences. It prompts reconsideration of how audiences are immersed in contemporary performance by centring on choreography, kinesthesia, and improvisatory engagement as key elements underpinning the design and experience of immersive environments, and offers a helpful means of conceptualising and analysing audience immersionin ways that I'm sure will inspire fresh consideration of the political in immersive performance. * Adam Alston, Goldsmiths, University of London *
