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 analyzes a decade of experimental choreography to redefine what performance means in the twenty-first century. Rather than viewing it as a simple aesthetic category, Lepecki presents performance as a mode of political power. This book examines how dance can critique and subvert existing power dynamics. By looking at five specific singularities - thingness, animality, persistence, darkness, and solidity - the text provides a framework for understanding the role of movement in society. Through the study of works by artists such as Mette Ingvartsen, Yvonne Rainer, and Ralph Lemo, readers gain insight into the capacity of movement to challenge modern political realities. This work is a vital resource for those studying the intersection of arts, politics, and contemporary choreography.
