The book provokes fresh consideration of the entangled relationship between, and historiographic significance of, visual arts and dance by exploring movements in history that dance has been traditionally mapped to — Neo-Avant Garde, Neo-Dada, Conceptual art, Postmodernism, and Performance Art — and the specific practices and innovations from key people in the field, such as John Cage, Anna Halprin, and Robert Rauschenberg.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book also employs a series of historical and critical case studies which show how compositional approaches from dance—breath, weight, tone, energy—informed the emergence of the intermedial.
