The five essays in this issue are quite diverse in terms of subject matter, context, and approach. However, if there is one aspect that links them, it is a concern with historical framing, whether it is to shed new light on a subject through a critical analysis of certain shifts in recent dance practices by addressing the historical precedents from whence they emerged (Kloetzel, Haitzinger, Joncheere), or to bring to our attention the importance of a highly regarded performer or author in their day, who somehow got lost in in the mist of time and is now being brought back into the light (Burden, Saumaa). The authors hail from the Canada, Austria, Belgium, Britain, and USA, thus continuing the international focus of the journal.

本期的五篇文章在主题、背景和方法方面都非常不同。然而，如果有一个方面将它们联系起来，那就是对历史框架的关注，是否通过对最近舞蹈实践的某些转变的批判性分析，通过解决它们出现的历史先例来阐明一个主题（ Kloetzel、Haitzinger、Joncheere），或者让我们注意到他们那个时代一位备受推崇的表演者或作家的重要性，他们不知何故迷失在时间的迷雾中，现在正被带回光明（Burden，Saumaa） . 作者来自加拿大、奥地利、比利时、英国和美国，从而延续了该期刊的国际关注点。
