Reviews for Unworking Choreography: The Notion of the Work in Dance

Ecumenical yet provocative, studied yet playful, a contemporary classic that stands out for balancing the reality of dance against philosophy's struggle to theorize it...Essential reading.--Dominic McIver Lopies, Distinguished University Scholar and Professor of Philosophy, The University of British Columbia Pouillaude moves dance studies forward toward new ways of theorizing how choreographic works exist without allowing us to neglect the precise historical forms in which they do indeed remain.--Carrie Noland, Professor of French, University of California - Irvine
