 Dancing communities: performance, difference and connection in the global city.
Author: Hamera, Judith Published: 2007 Every day, urban communities are danced into being. This is more than a metaphor: it is a testament to the power of performance as a social force, as cultural poesis, as communication infrastructure that makes identity, solidarity, and memory sharable. Dancing communities examines amateur and professional dance in Los Angeles, and argues that concert and amateur dance performances are laboratories for re-fashioning myriad complex intersections of gender, sexuality, class, ethnicity, and culture. |
