Dance is often considered an ephemeral art, one that disappears
nearly as soon as it materializes, leaving no physical object
behind. Yet some dance practice involves people trying to embody
something that exists before - and survives beyond - their
particular acts of dancing. What exactly is that thing? And (how)
do dances continue to exist when not performed? Anna Pakes seeks to
answer these and related questions in this book, drawing on
analytic philosophy of art to explore the metaphysics of dance
making, performance and disappearance. Focusing on Western theater
dance,Pakes also traces the different ways dances have been
conceptualized across time, and what those historical shifts imply
for the ontology of dance works.
