Through examining the politics, values, and ethics of learning dance today this book argues for the need of a re-assessment of the evolving practices in dance training and techniques. Key questions address how the concept of 'technique' and associated systems of training in dance could be redefined to enable the collaboration of skills and application of ideas necessary to twenty-first century dance. The editors present these ideas in different modes of writing.
