Ramsay Burt

Ungoverning Dance

Contemporary European Theatre Dance and the Commons

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Ungoverning Dance examines recent contemporary dance in continental Europe. Placing this in the context of neoliberalism and austerity, it argues that dancers are developing an ethico-aesthetic approach that uses dance practices as sites of resistance against dominant ideologies. It attests to the persistence of alternative ways of thinking and living.
