Choreographing Identities

Description:

"This volume looks at how cultures use dance as a visual representation of their identity, and how "traditional" dances change. It discusses several "parallel layers" of dance: dances performed at intra-cultural social occasions, dances used for representation or presentation, and folk dance performances. An extensive bibliography encompasses concert programs and reviews as well as broader scholarly sources"--Provided by publisher.
