Choreonarratives - Dancing Stories in Greek and Roman Antiquity and Beyond

Choreonarratives rethinks dance's potential for narrating stories and explores new intersections between perspectives of classicists, dance scholars, and dance artists. Discussions of ancient and modern examples enlighten dance's capacity to represent storyworlds, rewrite traditional narratives, and inspire new ones.
