Description

Explore the complex relationship between movement and aging in this scholarly collection. The Aging Body in Dance brings together a diverse group of artists and scholars to examine how different cultures perceive movement, beauty, agility, and expressiveness as the body changes over time. This book provides a deep look into the cultural ideas surrounding performance by comparing Euro-American and Japanese perspectives. Readers can study the work of influential figures such as Martha Graham, Yvonne Rainer, Anna Halprin, and Roemeo Castellucci alongside Japanese artists like Kazuo Ohno and Kikuo Tomoeda. By contrasting youth-oriented Western cultures with Japanese dance traditions, this work offers a unique look at how aging performers navigate their craft. It is an essential resource for those interested in the social sciences, gerontology, and the evolution of dance performance.
