We are pleased to announce a new special issue of Participations, the Journal of Audience and Reception Studies. This special edition includes articles from a variety of perspectives and methodological approaches discussing how audiences watch and engage with dance on screen; does screen dance, a form often articulated in terms of hybridity also promote new, hybrid forms of spectatorship?
