Processing Choreography ¿ Thinking With William Forsythe'S 'Duo' Av Elizabeth Waterhouse, Christina Budde

<p>Told from the perspective of the dancers, »Processing Choreography: Thinking with William Forsythe's <i>Duo</i>« is an ethnography that reconstructs the dancers' activity within William Forsythe's <i>Duo</i> project. The book is written legibly for readers in dance studies, the social sciences, and dance practice. Considering how the choreography of <i>Duo </i>emerged through <i>practice</i> and changed over two decades of history (1996-2018), Elizabeth Waterhouse offers a nuanced picture of creative cooperation and institutionalized process. She presents a compelling vision of choreography as a nexus of people, im/material practices, contexts, and relations. As a former Forsythe dancer herself, the author provides novel insights into this choreographic community.</p>
