Summary
'Choreographing Copyright' provides a historical and cultural analysis of U.S.-based dance-makers' investment in intellectual property rights. Although federal copyright law in the U.S. did not recognise choreography as a protectable class prior to the 1976 Copyright Act, efforts to win copyright protection for dance began eight decades earlier. In a series of case studies stretching from the late 19th century to the early 21st, the book reconstructs those efforts and teases out their raced and gendered politics
