The Oxford Handbook of Dance and Theater by Nadine George-Graves

The Oxford Handbook of Dance and Theater brings together genres, aesthetics, cultural practices, and historical movements that provide insight into humanist concerns at the crossroads of dance and theater, broadening the horizons of scholarship in the performing arts and moving the fields closer together.

a substantial anthology.. The Handbook offers serious readers and important collection of new thinking on dance and theatre, that allows the reader to understand the richness and complexity of this area of performance ... the Handbook is important because it considers practice that are rarely analysed side by side, and so reveals new ways of looking at these dances. It is useful because it explicates acts that are sometimes puzzling because they are non-literal, often non-verbal and difficult to categorize. It remains interesting because of the great variety of voices given exposure and expression ... it is this great movement, vibrancy and colour that leaves a lasting impression. * Sara Houston, Times Literary Supplement *
