Abstract


Abriendo Fronteras (2018) is opening up lines of inquiry that are new for the dance reader who has an interest in Spanish dance and theatre studies in Spain. While any dance historian or perfor- mance study scholar might find the work interesting, the authors have backgrounds in the arts and humanities ranging from literature and music to dance, theatre and archives. The eleven chapters explore specific live performances or recorded materials and analyse the work from different disci- plines and perspectives. There is a clear balance between the historical and modern frameworks being used by the authors to question and reflect on the works. For instance, some authors revisit old dance performances from the 1970s but analyse them with a deconstructive interdisciplinary lens while referencing significant political realities that provide new contextualization. Each chapter offers a unique performance, literary, musical or theatrical example, and these micro case studies open broader questions around interdisciplinary works and the role technology plays within them. After reading several chapters one might feel drawn to re-watch some of the older works or seek out the new works discussed by the authors.
