Elswit, Kate - Watching Weimar Dance

Watching Weimar Dance historicizes and theorizes the spectatorship of dances in and from interwar Germany - at home, on tour, and later returning from exile - developing a culturally-situated model of watching that not only offers a revisionist historical narrative, but also demonstrates new methods for dance scholarship to shape cultural history.
