Exhausting dance: performance and the politics of movement.
Author: Lepecki, Andre Published: 2006 A brief examination of the work of some key contemporary choreographers who have transformed the dance scene since the early 1990s in Europe and the USA. Through their vivid and explicit dialogue with performance art, visual arts and critical theory from the past thirty years, this new generation of choreographers challenge our understanding of dance by exhausting the concept of movement. Those whose work is here considered are Bruce Nauman, Juan Dominguez, Xavier Le Roy, Jérôme Bel, Trisha Brown, Maria La Ribot, William Pope, and Vera Mantero. |
