Dance and Politics : Moving Beyond Boundaries Hardback
by Dana Mills
Hardback
- Information
Description
This book examines the political power of dance, particularly its transgressive potential.
Focusing on readings of dance pioneers Isadora Duncan and Martha Graham, Gumboots dancers in the gold mines of South Africa, the One Billion Rising movement, dabke in Palestine and dance as a protest against human rights abuse in Israel, the book explores moments in which the form succeeds in transgressing politics as articulated in words.
Close readings and critical analysis grounded in radical democratic theory combine to show how interpreting political dance as 'interruption' can unsettle conceptions of both politics and dance. -- .
