Being in Contact: Encountering a Bare Body, Paperback / softback Book

Being in Contact: Encountering a Bare Body Paperback / softback

Part of the Edition Angewandte series

Paperback / softback

Description

This choreographed book is dedicated to the phenomenon of the bare body in contemporary performance.

This work of artistic research draws on philosophical, biopolitical, and ethical discourses relevant to the appearance of bare bodies in choreography, setting a framework for a reflexive movement between affect and ethics, sensuous address and response. Acts of exposure and concealment are culturally situated and anchored, and are examined for their methodological and nanopolitical significance.

The concepts of anarchic responsibility and choreo-ethics lead to a reevaluation of contact, relationship, and solidarity.

Choreography is thus understood as a complex field of revelatory experiences based on ecologies of aesthetic perception and ethico-political agency.
