Dance theatre has become a site of transformation in the Irish performance landscape. This book conducts a socio-political and cultural reading of dance theatre practice in Ireland, from Yeats' dance plays at the start of the 20th century to the Celtic-Tiger-era works of the Fabulous Beast Dance Theatre and CoisCeim Dance Theatre at the start of the 21st century.
