      abstract = {The first monograph on the work of British choreographer  Jonathan Burrows, this book examines his artistic practice  and poetics as articulated through his choreographic works,  his writings and his contributions to current performance  debates. It considers the contexts, principles and  modalities of his choreography, from his early pieces in  the 1980s, to his latest collaborative projects, providing  detailed analyses of his dances and reflecting on his  unique choreomusical partnership with composer Matteo  Fargion. Known for its emphasis on gesture and humorous  quality, and characterised by compositional clarity and  rhythmical patterns, Burrows artistic work takes the  language of choreography to its limits and engages in a  paradoxical, and hence transformative, relationship with  dances historical and normative structures. Exploring the  ways in which Burrows and Fargions poetics articulates  movement, performative presence and the collaborative  process in a minor register, this study conceptualises the  work as a politically compelling practice that destabilises  major traditions from a minoritarian position.},
