This book argues that contemporary dance, imagined to have a global
belonging, is vitiated by euro-white constructions of risk and
currency that remain at its core. Differently, the book reimagines
contemporary dance along a "South-South" axis, as a poly-centric,
justice-oriented, aesthetic-temporal category, with intersectional
understandings of difference as a central organizing principle.
Placing alterity and heat, generated via multiple pathways, at its
center, it foregrounds the work of South-South artists, who push
against constructions of "tradition" and white-centered aesthetic
imperatives, to reinvent their choreographic toolkit and respond to
urgent questions of their times. In recasting the grounds for a
different "global stage," the argument widens its scope to indicate
how dance-making both indexes current contextual inequities and
broader relations of social, economic, political, and cultural
power, and inaugurates future dimensions of justice. Winner of the
2022 Oscar G. Brockett Prize for Dance Research
