The second issue deals with the question of identities in dance, a topic that is incredibly lively and widely discussed in the current context. Dance Context Journal contains five popular science articles and two peer-reviewed studies by authors from Czechia and across Europe, and the publication opens, as usual, with a trio of summaries of theatrical developments in the 2024/2025 season in the fields of ballet, contemporary dance and new circus and non-verbal theatre.
