Choreographies of Landscape: Signs of Performance in Yosemite National Park - Dance and Performance Studies (Hardback)

"Ness provides conceptual insights which connect a range of disciplines, drawing upon detailed research undertaken over many years - including in-depth ethnographic work. The book addresses new challenges and deepens our understanding of landscape from a number of disciplinary perspectives. The delight of this book is that it provides a serious engagement with a web of theories, yet it retains a light touch in style. Through careful attention to observation-performance, it offers an intimate approach to its subject that is both complex and beautifully poetic." * Cultural Geographies
