The first monograph on the work of British choreographer Jonathan
Burrows, this book examines his artistic practice and poetics as
articulated through his choreographic works, his writings and his
contributions to current performance debates. It considers the
contexts, principles and modalities of his choreography, from his
early pieces in the 1980s to his latest collaborative projects,
providing detailed analyses of his dances and reflecting on his
unique choreomusical partnership with composer Matteo Fargion.
Known for its emphasis on gesture and humour, and characterised by
compositional clarity and rhythmical patterns, Burrows' artistic
work takes the language of choreography to its limits and engages
in a paradoxical, and hence transformative, relationship with
dance's historical and normative structures. Exploring the ways in
which Burrows and Fargion's poetics articulates movement,
performative presence and the collaborative process in a 'minor'
register, this study conceptualises the work as a politically
compelling practice that destabilises major traditions from a
minoritarian position.
