well as reflect the varying interests and characters of those doing the investigating.<br />
Even though the catalogue of questions provokes specific results, the<br />
results nonetheless revealed a wide spectrum for interpretation.<br />
Along with the results from each set of research questions, biographical information<br />
is presented graphically in the form of a dance genealogy that<br />
includes other influences. 15 Structured interviews with experts along with student<br />
questionnaires explore personal teaching and learning experiences. The<br />
literature and links compendium provides sources of inspiration for further<br />
research. 16<br />
Book–Inside–the–Book<br />
Four contributions seek to broaden the discussion about dance techniques:<br />
Irene Sieben’s essay provides basic insights into somatic working methods,<br />
highlighting characteristics and its growing significance for dance technique<br />
nowadays. She establishes a direct link between materials found in various<br />
research projects. In contrast, Wibke Hartewig explores movement analysis<br />
methods that can be used for contemporary and modern dance technique.<br />
Her contribution underscores the notion that the method of observation will<br />
influence or even direct specific results. The analytical systems she presents<br />
inspired research questions for the chapter “Understanding the Body / Movement.”<br />
Patricia Stöckemann’s interviews with contemporary witnesses of<br />
German Expressionist dance and German dance–theater 17 offer personal experiences<br />
and assessments about dance techniques and their development<br />
after World War II. Irmela Kästner, along with dance teachers at P.A.R.T.S. 18 ,<br />
discussed the structure and focus of various dance techniques as found in<br />
current training programs.<br />
15 Biographies as well as the dance genealogies<br />
have been created by the experts and<br />
others involved.<br />
16 The research process at the institutions<br />
has been documented in many ways and<br />
goes beyond the material presented in this<br />
publication. Additional interviews, texts,<br />
sketches, photos, and / or video documentation<br />
can be viewed for further research<br />
purposes at the dance universities.<br />
