Review: "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.
