Parallel Lines is the first book which attempts to collect together accounts of how dance and dancing have been represented on public television in Britain. Parallel Lines considers the role of dance in a variety of television practices, including pop-videos, 'popular' dance programmes and experimental and contemporary dance. Consisting of a number of specially-commissioned articles by critics, producers and choreographers, together with reprints of key critical pieces, this unique anthology will provide an invaluable reference work for students and lecturers of dance and media studies. It will also prove a fascinating book for the general reader interested in dance and/or mass media.
