Author examines contemporary dance from both a theoretical and a practical perspective, with interactions between the two. Laermans analyses three important tendencies in contemporary dance: 'pure' dance, dance theatre, and (self-)reflexive dance. He proposes a theoretical, conceptual framework, and through extensive dialogues with choreographers he investigates how artistic cooperation results in dance.
