Through oral narratives offering rich descriptions of lived encounters, the experiences of those involved in leading, organizing, teaching and learning Guangchang Wu are revealed. Through these narratives, this book serves to understand the leadership practices occurring and how this dance practice is deeply rooted in the complexities of China's rapid economic development, acceleration of urbanisation, and the desire for a healthier and more communal lifestyle.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRose Martin\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor of Arts Education with a focus on Multiculturalism, at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway.
