Description: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 dancers from Yvonne Rainer, Martha Graham and Anna Halprin to Kazuo Ohno and Kikuo Tomoeda, and directors such as Romeo Castellucci. The theoretical and artistic discourses by European, American, and Japanese thinkers are presented not as an East-West comparison but are interwoven within chapters, working to overcome ethnocentric discourses and extend beyond cross-cultural horizons and postcolonial critiques. The selection of dancers discussed in this book provides readers with a global view on dance, puts into question ontological difference between dance and dancer, and reveals the cultural politics of dance.The first aesthetic, political, and cross-cultural study of its kind, The Aging Body in Dance offers an invaluable resource for scholars and practitioners interested in global dance cultures and their differing responses to the world's aging population.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
