"Uytterhoeven focuses on one choreographer, but her scholarship expands outward into a myriad of directions. Her book inspires continued engagement ... . her strategies can inspire the viewer to go deeper. ... Different disciplines will see her scholarship through distinct lenses-the eye of a choreographer, dancer, anthropologist, or dance studies scholar. ... Many conversations and lines of inquiry are being birthed. Reading her book may take you down a new path that you did not foresee." (Heather Harrington, Dance Research Journal, Vol. 53 (3), December, 2021)

"Complete with vast analyses and extensive sources, it provides a unique and valuable perspective on engaged spectatorship in contemporary dance. This book is ideal for scholars and educators interested in either Cherkaoui or a new approach to dance dramaturgy. ... Uytterhoeven reminds the reader that engaged spectatorship is a skill that must be practiced and developed, even by the most seasoned audience members."
