This book documents more than 20 years of performances of Drumming,
a world-renowned dance piece on music by Steve Reich, through
beautiful photography. Drumming is a widely admired dance piece
choreographed by Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker (b. 1960), set to music
by the minimalist composer Steve Reich and featuring costumes by
Dries Van Noten, that has been performed continuously around the
world since its debut in 1998. It is celebrated for its synthesis
of an exceptionally refined structure with an expression of the
sheer joy of dancing. Over the 22 years that this piece has been
performed, photographers Herman Sorgeloos and Anne Van Aerschot
have documented it. This book showcases their outstanding
photographic archive, offering a unique view into the aesthetics of
this piece. Mathematically precise movement, sustained repetition,
geometric use of performance space, and continuous variation are
qualities-epitomized in Drumming-that have all become hallmarks of
De Keersmaeker's celebrated oeuvre. Distributed for Mercatorfonds
