Description
Global groove Kunst, Tanz, Performance und Protest A comprehensive visual chronicle of artistic encounters between cultures, this book explores the influences that have shaped the history of dance. From early performances by Asian dancers in European colonial exhibitions to contemporary happenings, it brings together an impressive array of images, artworks, films, and performances that showcase new forms emerging from transcultural interactions. The book delves into the language of dance - movement, gesture, happening, process, ritual - and its materials - body, light, colour, fabric, and mist. Its impact extends beyond aesthetics to influence social, cultural, and political developments in modern societies. Featuring over 270 images, this standard work is authored by international experts and offers a unique insight into the evolution of dance and art through cross-cultural exchange.
