How does the production of performance engage with the fundamental
issues of our advanced neo-capitalist age? Andre Lepecki surveys a
decade of experimental choreography to uncover the dual meaning of
'performance' in the twenty-first century: not just an aesthetic
category, but a mode of political power. He demonstrates the
enduring ability of performance to critique and subvert this power,
examining this relationship through five 'singularities' in
contemporary dance: thingness, animality, persistence, darkness,
and solidity. Exploring the works of Mette Ingvartsen, Yvonne
Rainer, Ralph Lemon, Jerome Bel and others, Lepecki uses his
concept of 'singularity'-the resistance of categorization and
aesthetic identification-to examine the function of dance and
performance in political and artistic debate.
