Academia Ballet, why and how?
on the role of classical ballet in dance education
2014 || Hardcover || Derrick Brown e.a. || Idea Books B.V.
Classical ballet is no longer the sole stimulus for today's audiences, as a fluid fusion of everything from ballet to Bollywood and from breakdancing to Latin represents how dance is consumed today.

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

Dance as Intermedial Translation
Moving Across Page, Stage, Canvas
2024 || Paperback || Vanessa Montesi || Leuven University Press

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.
