| Summary: | The Oxford Handbook of Dance and Competition examines the complex interactions between dance and competition, and addresses six areas of investigation: how dancers invest in competition to ensure economic survival and social standing; how dancing bodies and movement aesthetics are re-choreographed in response to a competition format; the strategies that dancers use to negotiate the dominant rhetoric of competition; the values and criteria that underpin frameworks of judgment and experiences of spectatorship in the competition realm; how failure, loss, and a resistance to structures of winning are engendered through danced attitudes toward competition; and the veiled ideas and strategic agendas that underpin dance competition. |
