Movements of Interweaving is a rich collection of essays exploring
the concept of interweaving performance cultures in the realms of
movement, dance, and corporeality. Focusing on dance performances
as well as on scenarios of cultural movements on a global scale, it
not only challenges the concept of intercultural dance
performances, but through its innovative approach also calls
attention to the specific qualities of "interweaving" as a form of
movement itself. Divided into four sections, this volume features
an international team of scholars together developing a new
critical perspective on the cultural practices of movement, travel
and migration in and beyond dance.
Moving Relation explores the notion of touch in the realm of
contemporary dance. By closely analyzing performances by well-known
European and American choreographers such as Meg Stuart, William
Forsythe, Xavier Le Roy, Jared Gradinger and Angela Schubot, this
book investigates their usage of touch on the level of movement,
experience and affect. Building on the proposition that touch is
more than the moment of bodily contact, the author demonstrates the
concept of touch as an interplay of movements and multiple
relations of proximity. Egert employs both depth, using close
descriptions and analyses of dance performances with theoretical
investigations of touch, with breadth, working across the fields of
performance and dance studies, philosophy and cultural theory.
Suitable for scholars and practitioners in the fields of dance and
performance studies, Moving Relation uses a process-oriented notion
of touch to reevaluate key concepts such as the body, rhythm,
emotional expression, subjectivity and audience perception.
