Te Ao Live : Experimental Dance Aotearoa Nz In The Early 21st Century
Paperback Edition: 1
Experimental dance in Aotearoa has existed since the late 90s, but has thrived during the early 21st Century in a fast-changing and tumultuous political climate. The movement can be defined by a number of stylistic and conceptual features, these include: the breaking of conventions of contemporary dance in form and concept, whilst existing in and around the wider dance scene, a movement away from Eurocentric modernism, interdisciplinary exploration and influence, somatic/improvisation training and investigations, and theoretical and political activations. Poetic and philosophical dialogue with post colonialism, gender, capitalism, ecology, embodiment and transformation are also some key thematic concerns that coin this movement.
The voices within this publication make moves to sample something from experimental dance in Aotearoa and the strength of dialogue that exists here.
