Dance is the art least susceptible to preservation since its embodied, kinaesthetic nature has proven difficult to capture in notation and even in still or moving images. However, frameworks have been established and guidance made available for keeping dances, performances, and choreographers' legacies alive so that the dancers of today and tomorrow can experience and learn from the dances and dancers of the past.

In this volume, a range of voices address the issue of dance preservation through memory, artistic choice, interpretation, imagery and notation, as well as looking at relevant archives, legal structures, documentation and artefacts. The intertwining of dance preservation and creativity is a core theme discussed throughout this text, pointing to the essential continuity of dance history and dance innovation. The demands of preservation stretch across time, geographies, institutions and interpersonal connections, and this book focuses on the fascinating web that supports the fragile yet urgent effort to sustain our dancing heritage.

The articles in this book were originally published in the journal Dance Chronicle: Studies in Dance and the Related Arts.

Industry Reviews

"[Preserving Dance Across Time and Space] is likely to appeal to a wide readership...[and it] is a reminder that dance as an art form generates a variety of approaches to what is understood by preservation in dance and useful questions are asked, such as: What dance should be preserved and who is responsible for its preservation? What is the purpose and impact of preservation on artists, institutions and cultural organisations?" - Sarah Whatley, Studies in Theatre and Performance
