Contributions from a global range of practitioners and researchers address a spectrum of concerns in the field, organized into seven broad domains:

Choreographic environments
Cultural and intercultural contexts
Challenging aesthetics
Choreographic relationships with technology.
Including 23 new chapters and 10 updated ones, Contemporary Choreography captures the essence and progress of choreography in the twenty-first century, supporting and encouraging rigorous thinking and research for future generations of dance practitioners and scholars.
