Description:

Since the mid twentieth century, dance has expanded beyond the stage, with works presented in myriad forms in galleries and museums around the world. From artistic experiments and reworks of historical choreographies to performances responding to permanent collections, dance as a mode of expression has increasingly carved out a unique place in institutions and exhibitions as a means to engage audiences.

'Precarious Movements: Choreography and the Museum' seeks to understand how dance and choreography are expanding the programming priorities and architectural profile of art institutions. This publication offers an open access industry toolkit to assist institutions and artists with best practice in the commissioning, presentation, collection and conversation of choreographic performance works.
