"Écrire la danser et danser l'écrit - from this perspective the diverse points of contact that connect the two art forms of literature and dance are illuminated and analyzed. The focus is particularly on texts from French-language literature, in which authors write about dance or take up elements of that performative art. How does dance enter literature? And asked the other way around, what is the path from literature to dance? Throughout the cultural history of dance, literary texts have continuously served as a template for choreographers and their dance stage works. In more modern times there are also dancers who take up pens and write about dancing. The intellectual and dance-based exchange between text and dance bridges the gap between abstract theory and lively practice. In this volume, Romanistic and dance studies perspectives are focused on interactions between two arts, which look back on a long tradition of mutual inspiration with maximum independence and yet never tire of innovation"-- Provided by publisher.
