Fully revised and updated, this second edition of Contemporary Choreography presents a range of articles covering choreographic enquiry, investigation into the creative process, and innovative challenges to traditional understandings of dance making.

Conceptual and philosophical concerns
Processes of making
Dance dramaturgy: structures, relationships, contexts
Choreographic environments
Cultural and intercultural contexts
Challenging aesthetics
Choreographic relationships with technology.

Including 23 new chapters and 10 updated ones, Contemporary Choreography captures the essence and progress of choreography in the twenty-first century, supporting and encouraging rigorous thinking and research for future generations of dance practitioners and scholars.
