Abstract
Perazzo Domm conceptualises Jonathan Burrows’ work as danced poetry and investigates the performance poetics his choreography has articulated through three decades of choreographing, dancing, collaborating, researching, mentoring and writing. Crucially, she proposes that Burrows’ work resists established artistic and social paradigms, reconceptualising individuation and community through process and performance. Introducing the monograph, the chapter also outlines the structure and theoretical framework of the study.
