What does it take to cross a border, and what does it take to
belong? Sandra Noeth examines the entangled experiences of borders
and of collectivity through the perspective of bodies. By
dramaturgical analyses of contemporary artistic work from Lebanon
and Palestine, Noeth shows how borders and collectivity are
constructed and negotiated through performative, corporeal,
movement-based, and sensory strategies and processes. This
interdisciplinary study is made urgent by social and political
transformations across the Middle East and beyond from 2010
onwards. It puts to the fore the residual, body-bound structural
effects of borders and of collectivity and proceeds to develop
notions of agency and responsibility that are immanently bound to
bodies in relation.
The concept of "worldmaking" is based on the idea that "the world"
is not given, but rather produced through language, actions, ideas
and perception. This collection of essays takes a closer look at
various hybrid and disparate worlds related to dance and
choreography. Coming from a broad range of different backgrounds
and disciplines, the authors inquire into the ways of producing
"dance worlds": through artistic practice, discourse and media,
choreographic form and dance material.The essays in this volume
critically reflect the predominant topos of dance as something
fleeting and ephemeral - an embodiment of the Other in modernity.
Moreover, they demonstrate that there is more than just one
universal "world of dance", but rather a multitude of interrelated
dance worlds with more emerging every day.
