With contributions from experienced and emerging scholars, this handbook provides a concise reference on dance as both an integral feature of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century culture and as a means of translating Shakespearean text into movement - a process that raises questions of authorship and authority, cross-cultural communication, semantics, embodiment, and the relationship between word and image. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMotivated by growing interest in movement, materiality, and the body, \u003cem\u003eThe Oxford Handbook of Shakespeare and Dance\u003c\/em\u003e is the first collection to examine the relationship between William Shakespeare - his life, works, and afterlife - and dance. In the handbook's first section - Shakespeare \u003cem\u003eand\u003c\/em\u003e Dance - authors consider dance within the context of early modern life and culture and investigate Shakespeare's use of dance forms within his writing. The latter half of the handbook - Shakespeare \u003cem\u003eas\u003c\/em\u003e Dance - explores the ways that choreographers have adapted Shakespeare's work. Chapters address everything from narrative ballet adaptations to dance in musicals, physical theater adaptations, and interpretations using non-Western dance forms such as Cambodian traditional dance or\u003cem\u003e igal\u003c\/em\u003e, an indigenous dance form from the southern Philippines. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith a truly interdisciplinary approach, \u003cem\u003eThe Oxford Handbook of Shakespeare and Dance\u003c\/em\u003e provides an indispensable resource for considerations of dance and corporeality on Shakespeare's stage and the early modern era.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46424947359895,"sku":"9780190498788","price":17933.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780190498788.webp?v=1769091898","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/oxford-handbook-of-shakespeare-and-dance-9780190498788","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
