The French
edition of The Poetics of Contemporary Dance was first published in
1997 and was soon recognised as a key work in the area of theory and
philosophy of contemporary dance. The importance and quality of this
book lies in the author’s in-depth insight into theoretical and
practical works of many dance makers from the beginning of the 20th
century to the 1980s, while connecting them with certain basic
philosophical insights in French aesthetics. Loupe however does not
apply philosophical concepts to explain dance practices or
articulations but thinks the dancing act together with dance and
philosophy.
