Coastal constructions in Lea Anderson's Out on the Windy Beach -- Dancing in the 'In-Between Spaces'. Desire spatialized differently in dances that can be read as lesbian. Hybridity and nomadic subjectivity in Shobana Jeyasingh's Duets with Automobiles. Crossing the (black) Atlantic: spatial and temporal displacements in Meredith Monk's Ellis Island and Jonzi D's Aeroplane Man -- Inside/Outside Bodies and Spaces. Fleshy corporealities in Trisha Brown's If You Couldn't See Me, Lea Anderson's Joan and Yolande Snaith's Blind Faith. 'Carnivalesque' subversions in Mark Morris' Dogtown, Liz Aggiss' Grotesque Dancer and Emilyn Claid's Across Your Heart. Architectural spaces in the choreography of William Forsythe and De Keersmaeker's Rosas Danst Rosas. 1. Pt. I. 2. 3. 4. Pt. II. 5. 6. 7. Pt. III. 8. 9. 10.
"This book contains close readings of postmodern dances and dance films informed by current critical theories. It explores the roles dance and space play in constructing subjectivity. Focusing on site-specific dance, the mutual construction of bodies and spaces, body/space interfaces and in-between spaces, the dances and dance films are read 'against the grain' to reveal their potential for troubling conventional notions of subjectivity associated with a white, Western, heterosexual, able-bodied male norm."--BOOK JACKET.
