Description

Explore the deep connection between contemporary dance and the political structures of our neo-capitalist era. In Singularities: Dance in the Age of Performance, Andre Lepecki examines how experimental choreography functions as more than an aesthetic choice. This work investigates performance as a mode of political power and a tool for subversion. By surveying a decade of experimental dance, Lepecki identifies five specific singularities that define the relationship between movement and power: thingness, animality, persistence, darkness, and solidity. This book provides a rigorous analysis of how contemporary dance works can critique the systems that govern modern life. Through the study of artists such as Mette Ingvartsen and Yvonne Rainer, readers gain a new perspective on how the body operates within social and political frameworks. This text is an essential resource for students, scholars, and practitioners interested in the intersection of choreography, politics, and contemporary art theory.
