Venue, Timing and Cost
Join Arabella Stanger, Senior Lecturer in Drama: Theatre and Performance at the University of Sussex, for a discussion of her new book at this DANSOX (Dance Scholarship Oxford) event.
'Dancing on Violent Ground: Utopia as Dispossession in Euro-American Theater Dance' develops a new theory of choreographic space to shows how the embodied forms of hope promised in ballet and progressive dance modernisms conceal and depend on spatial operations of imperial, colonial, and racial subjection. Bold in its arguments and rigorous in its critique, 'Dancing on Violent Ground' asks how performance scholars can develop a practice of thinking hopefully, without expunging history from their site of analysis.
