Drawing of the postmodern perspective and concerns that informed her groundbreaking Terpsichore in Sneakers, Sally Banes’s Writing Dancing documents the background and developments of avant-garde and popular dance, analyzing individual artists, performances, and entire dance movements. With a sure grasp of shifting cultural dynamics, Banes shows how postmodern dance is integrally connected to other oppositional, often marginalized strands of dance culture, and considers how certain kinds of dance move from the margins to the mainstream. Banes begins by considering the act of dance criticism itself, exploring its modes, methods, and underlying assumptions, and examining the work of other critics. She traces the development of contemporary dance from the early work of such influential figures as Merce Cunningham and George Balanchine to such contemporary choreographers as Molissa Fenley, Karole Armitage, and Michael Clark. She analyzes the contributions of the Judson Dance Theatre and the Workers’ Dance League, the emergence of Latin postmodern dance in New York, and the impact of black jazz in Russia. In addition, Banes explores such untraditional performance modes as breakdancing and the “drunk dancing” of Fred Astaire. Ebook Edition Note: Ebook edition note: All images have been redacted.

This book om the interrelationship of economics and aesthetics from the perspective of modern dance includes a preface and six chapters. Chapter 1, "The Modern Dance Point of View," presents a history of modern dance from 1915 to the 1980s. Chapter 2, "The National Endowment for the Arts and Its Impact on Modern Dance," consists of a review of literature and a discussion of the impact of the NEA on dance companies' organizational structure and financial stability, the decentralization of the field, the impact of NEA funding patterns on other funding agencies, the nature of the grant-making process, and political implications of NEA funding policies. Chapter 3 presents perspectives from four artists (Elizabeth Keen, Kathryn Posin, Jefferson James, and Spider Kedelsky). Chapter 4,"Higher Education and the Professional Dance World," discusses modern dance and the university, professionalism, the education and training of dancers, the conservatory tradition, ballet training, testing and technique, and the dancer as a person. Chapter 5, "Modern Dance in a Postmodern World," discusses issues related to modern dance as an art in the contemporary postmodern period, the NEA's impact and role in transforming dance into a commodity, careerism among dancers, a loss of purpose among dancers, and the role of education. Chapter 6, "Afterward: April 10, 1991," concludes the work with a discussion of the economic recession and funding for the arts, press coverage, and NEA's present situation.

"... almost every page offers provocative commentary on the aesthetics and politics of modern dance." -- Signs "... [an] important step... in the ineluctable dance by postmodern historians across a bridge that spans the gaps among disciplines, between theory and practice, and betweeen present and past." -- Theatre Journal "This complex and important book needs to be read by anyone interested in dance history or the cultural politics of dance." -- Dance Theatre Journal "Mark Franko's Dancing Modernism/Performing Politics is challenging, groundbreaking, insightful, and, I believe, an important contribution to the field of dance scholarship." -- Dance Research Journal A revisionary account of the evolution of "modern dance" in which Mark Franko calls for a historicization of aesthetics that considers the often-ignored political dimension of expressive action.

Jewish choreographers have not only been vital contributors to American modern and postmodern dance, but they have also played a critical and unacknowledged role in American Jewish culture. This book delineates this rich history, demonstrating how, over the twentieth century, dance enabled American Jews to grapple with identity, difference, cultural belonging, and pride.

This collection of original essays provides an intellectual, social, and historical background for the postmodern movement in the literary, visual, and performing arts in America today. Both creative expression and critical thought are examined in literature, painting and sculpture, dance, music, photography, architecture, theatre, and film. The author of each essay describes and analyzes the ways in which individuals become conscious of, represent, and ultimately assimilate changes in their respective art forms. Included in each essay is a synthesis of critical issues, as well as a discussion of representative figures and their works. Also, a broad bibliographic component supplements each essay, including discussions of resource materials, checklists, and a comprehensive annotated bibliography. In his introduction, editor Stanley Trachtenberg provides an overview of postmodernism. In addition, the volume contains an appendix of related European and Latin American expressions and a chronology of historical and cultural events and individual achievements.

Meilleur livre sur la danse, Grand Prix de la critique 2002/2003, Palmarès Danse Dans les années 1960 puis 1970, à New York, parallèlement à une montée de la contestation sociale et politique dans le monde occidental, quelques jeunes danseurs et chorégraphes se détachent radicalement de la modern dance et de la danse classique. Issus des ateliers d'Ann Halprin en Californie et/ou de ceux de Robert Dunn au studio Cunningham, ils rejettent virtuosité, expression dramatique, "inspiration", codes esthétiques et techniques, relations conventionnelles entre artistes et spectateurs, et entre les arts. Ils renouvellent fondamentalement les processus de création et adoptent la composition par procédés aléatoires, le discours direct, l'emploi d'amateurs, les structures et mouvements empruntés à la vie quotidienne.

This text is aimed at undergraduates on Drama / Theatre Studies, English and Cultural Studies degrees and at specialist drama bookshops. This book explores ways in which ideas and practices emerging in art, architecture and music have been taken up and developed in recent performance. Setting the notion of a postmodern style against a broader concept of the postmodern work, the study considers various forms of performance art, dance and theatre which define themselves in opposition to self-consciously modernist modes of work. In doing so, the book seeks to describe a position underlying a range of forms which opposes notions of the self-contained, autonomous art-work and may be understood in relation to concepts of the postmodern defined in criticism, philosophy and cultural theory. It aims to offer a broad-ranging understanding of postmodernism in art, architecture, music and performance, before engaging in a detailed consideration of postmodernism and the performance arts. It is a useful guide and reference book to modernism / post-modernism especially for Theatre Studies / Drama degrees.
