Key Pages
Main GroupThis 'project' or sub-site will explore more specifically archaeochoreology. Valerie Preston Dunlop and Ana Sanchez Colberg have defined archaeochoreology , in Dance and the Performative (London: Verve Publishing 2002), as a field of research within choreology (the study of dance) which focuses on the recovery of lost dances. But, they add, the performative is part of the process of recovery. Dance works are 'works in flux' rather than 'stable works as artefacts'. Archaeochoreology is a very exciting new disciplinary formation and through these pages I would like to start a discussion, and publish papers, articles, and comments from and for the wider community of archaeochoreologists and anyone interested in getting involved.
