Tracing the historical figure of Vaslav Nijinsky in contemporary documents and later reminiscences, Dancing Genius opens up questions about authorship in dance, about critical evaluation of performance practice, and the manner in which past events are turned into history.

Hanna Järvinen is a Lecturer in Dance and Performance Studies at the Theatre Academy of the University of the Arts Helsinki, Finland. Also working as a scholar of cultural history, Hanna has published articles for publications including The Senses and Society, Dance Research, and Dance Research Journal.
