What does it mean to be able to move? The Aging Body in Dance
brings together leading scholars and artists from a range of
backgrounds to investigate cultural ideas of movement and beauty,
expressiveness and agility. Contributors focus on Euro-American and
Japanese attitudes towards aging and performance, including studies
of choreographers, dancers and directors from Yvonne Rainer, Martha
Graham, Anna Halprin and Roemeo Castellucci to Kazuo Ohno and Kikuo
Tomoeda. They draw a fascinating comparison between youth-oriented
Western cultures and dance cultures like Japan's, where aging
performers are celebrated as part of the country's living heritage.
The first cross-cultural study of its kind, The Aging Body in Dance
offers a vital resource for scholars and practitioners interested
in global dance cultures and their differing responses to the
world's aging population.
