Academia Ballet, why and how?
on the role of classical ballet in dance education
2014 || Hardcover || Derrick Brown e.a. || Idea Books B.V.

Kelder
|| Paperback || Irina Baldini || Brave New Books
ME is a capital, a produced identity, a competitive subjectivity.
If I practice de-forming the product of ME, do I annihilate ME, aside from the matter-of-factness by which I still exist in flesh and bone?
By the urgency of not belonging

It gave me a shiver in response.

Dance as Intermedial Translation
Moving Across Page, Stage, Canvas
2024 || Paperback || Vanessa Montesi || Leuven University Press
This book is situated in the breach opened up by recent debates on inherited notions of text, language, and translation that followed the emergence of new technologies. It examines two works of contemporary dance, Marie Chouinard’s Jérôme Bosch: Le Jardin des Délices (2016) and Mathieu Geffré’s Froth on the Daydream (2018), as examples of intermedial translation.
