Fully revised and updated, this third edition of Contemporary Choreography presents a range of articles covering choreographic enquiry, investigation into creative processes, and innovative challenges to understandings about dance-making.

Contributions from a global range of practitioners and researchers address a spectrum of concerns in the field, organised into six broad domains:

• Processes of making
• Culture, contexts and intersections
• Choreography, politics and power
• Choreography and interdisciplinary arts practice
• Technology, transmission and immersion
• Choreographic environments and interventions

Including 24 new chapters and six updated ones, Contemporary Choreography captures the essence and progress of choreography in the third decade of the twenty-first century, supporting and encouraging rigorous thinking and research for future generations of dance practitioners and scholars.
