" "Moving Together" asserts that the arts, specifically dance, have a significant, yet largely un examined, role to play in the questioning and crafting of our plurialist society... The chapiters in this collection ask readers to consider how teachers, choreographers, dancers, presenters, arts administrator, audiences and reviewers practices plurialism in Canada. Their choreographic works, performance conventions, and attendant media responses reveal how identities and notions of difference are oerseived within and beyond racially and ethnically defined communities. their successes and challenges serve as exemplars and cautions not only for other artists, but also as models that can be transposed into broader contexts of pluralism. Most notably. like other forms of soft diplomacy, dance can help to "set the stage" for social change. Dance brings people together to engage in non-treatening, non-legislated ways. It povides opportunities to learn about cultures that are different from one's own. It facilitatesmoments when groups of people who have been historically marginalized take center stage - literally and figuratively - and exercise agency. In other words, over the courseof this collection, we argue that dance is an effective mode of inquiry to highlight the shifting concerns of pluralism in Canada" 4e de couverture

"Akram Khan: Dancing New Interculturalism analyses the relationship between this seminal British-Asian choreographer's complex identity-positions and his art through the lens of 'new interculturalism'. Through seven key case studies from Khan's oeuvre, this book demonstrates how Khan's philosophy and aesthetic of 'new interculturalism' is a challenge to the 1980s predominantly Westurn 'intercultural theatre' project, as more nuanced and embodied approach to representing Othernesses, from his own position of the Other. Additionally, the book challenges popular perception of Khan's art as contemporary South Asian dance by suggesting that, instead, Khan uses South Asian dramaturgical principles to transform the Westurn contemporary dance lansdcape in intercultural ways. Offering the first full-length investigation of Akram Khan's work, this book is essential reading for students, researchers, practicioners and fans of Khan's work."-P.4 de la couverture.

"Choreographing Copyright is a new historical and cultural analysis of U.S. dance-makers' investment in intellectual property rights. Stretching from the late nineteenth century to the early twenty-first, the book reconstructs efforts to win copyright protection for choreography and teases out their raced and gendered politics, showing how dancers have embraced intellectual property rights as a means to both consolidate and contest racial and gendered power.

A number of the artists featured in the book are well-known in the history of American dance, including Loie Fuller, Hanya Holm, and Martha Graham, Agnes de Mille, and George Balanchine. But the book also uncovers a host of marginalized figures--from the South Asian dancer Mohammed Ismail, to the African American pantomimist Johnny Hudgins, to the African American blues singer Alberta Hunter, to the white burlesque dancer Faith Dane--who were equally interested in positioning themselves as subjects rather than objects of property (...)"--P.[4] de la couv.

" Mindy Aloff, a journalist, an essayist, and a dance critic, analyzes dance as the ultimate expression of human energy and feeling. From her personal anecdotes, her engaging collection of stories about dance from around the world, or her description of the captivating photograph by Helen Levitt of two children dancing, which she sees as one embodiment of the mystery and joy that dancing can evoke, Aloff's exploration of the aesthetic, social, and spiritual impacts of dance will prove spellbinding.

Aloff takes us on a journey through various forms of dance—rituals, religious observances, storytelling, musical interpretations—to show why dance matters to human beings. Interlaced with personal experiences, this book builds on analysis to reveal the intimate relationship we have with dance—personal, spiritual, soul-searching, medicinal, and entertaining. The ideas speak to both specialist and general readers." Incipit
