A Decade of MA Solo Dance Authorship

This is an appropriate place to thank all those who have contributed
in a multitude of ways to making the SODA programme the
dynamic, contested, and at times infuriating or ecstatic focus for
postgraduate dance and body-based performance education
over the last decade; and an opportunity to thank all those who
have contributed to the making of this book in the hope that it
might provide a further stepping stone for the future directions of
SODA; especially Yaron Maïm and all the current (2016–2019)
SODA students for their collaborative ‘groupsolo’ contribution
and energies which carry SODA forward; Eva-Maria Hoerster,
Sabine Trautwein and the indomitable Rhys Martin, without whom
SODA would have remained but a sweet fizzy confection in a bottle;
and Pierre Becker at Ta-Trung for his generous collaborative
design work on this book.
