Choreographic Dwellings: Practising Place offers new readings of the kinaesthetic experiences of site-specific and nomadic performance, parkour, installation and walking practices. It extends the remit of the choreographic by reframing the kinaesthetic qualities of place as action.

“In this incisive and thought-provoking publication, Schiller and Rubidge steer a wide-reaching selection of essays that expand on ways of reconsidering the choreographic. Challenging conventional notions of how the choreographic operates and performs, this collection is a timely contribution to theorizing the concept of choreography in the wake of the ‘affective turn’. … Schiller and Rubidge’s Choreographic Dwellings: Practising Place serves as an important compass in the writing of choreographic evolution and its interdisciplinary reach.” (Michelle Man, Theatre and Performance Design, Vol. 3 (1-2), June, 2017)
