Dr. Julia M. Ritter serves as the Dean of the Glorya Kaufman School of Dance at the University of Southern California.
"Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty;
professionals." -- S. E. Friedler, CHOICE
"Tandem Dances makes a welcome intervention in a field that has
marginalised the perspectives and insights of dance scholars,
dancers, choreographers, and choreographed audiences. It prompts
reconsideration of how audiences are immersed in contemporary
performance by centring on choreography, kinesthesia, and
improvisatory engagement as key elements underpinning the design
and experience of immersive environments, and offers a helpful
means of
conceptualising and analysing audience immersion in ways that I'm
sure will inspire fresh consideration of the political in immersive
performance." -- Adam Alston, Goldsmiths, University of London
"While dance is integral to so much immersive theatre, its
contribution remains relatively covert. Ritter has written a
much-needed book to work through the production and reception of
choreography within this contemporary performance form." -- Kate
Elswit, author of Theatre & Dance and Watching Weimar Dance
