This book examines the political power of dance, particularly its
transgressive potential. Focusing on readings of dance pioneers
Isadora Duncan and Martha Graham, Gumboots dancers in the gold
mines of South Africa, the One Billion Rising movement, dabke in
Palestine and dance as a protest against human rights abuse in
Israel, the book explores moments in which the form succeeds in
transgressing politics as articulated in words. Close readings and
critical analysis grounded in radical democratic theory combine to
show how interpreting political dance as 'interruption' can
unsettle conceptions of both politics and dance. -- .
