[It] should appeal to a wide audience of under -graduate and postgraduate readers, particularly researchers and teachers of performance studies, whose academic palate savours the varied taste of international research cuisine, captured in a stimulating menu of ‘real world’ case studies. The power of the book is to be found in the creative and contemporary insights captured in the versatility of these case studies and the attention to detail paid to the dynamic relations between topics in both the social and pure sciences as well as the humanities. -- Deborah Newton * New Theatre Quarterly *\u003cbr\u003eAs well as providing a platform for practitioners and scholars working at the bleeding edge of performance, adapting theory to real world contexts and reflecting on issues raised by practice, the editors have collated truly international perspectives. * Platform *\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePerformance Studies in Motion\u003c\/i\u003e offers a heterogeneous ensemble of case studies of performances in their concrete contexts ... The question of the normative, dark, even dangerous dimensions of performance that the anthology raises are certainly a challenge for the generally rather optimistic stance of ‘Schechnerian’ PS. It is from here that exciting impulses for the next moves of Performance Studies promise to come. -- Vivien Aehlig, Freie Universitat, Berlin * Theater Forschung *\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePerformance Studies in Motion\u003c\/i\u003e marks an increasing diversification of cultural representation and frameworks for analysis in publications about performance studies.
