What does it mean so as to move?

The Aging Body in Dance brings together leading scholars and artists from a range of backgrounds to analyze cultural ideas of movement and beauty, expressiveness and agility.

Contributors center of attention on Euro-American and Japanese attitudes towards aging and performance, including studies of choreographers, dancers and directors from Yvonne Rainer, Martha Graham, Anna Halprin and Roemeo Castellucci to Kazuo Ohno and Kikuo Tomoeda. They draw an enchanting comparison between youth-oriented Western cultures and dance cultures like Japan’s, where aging performers are celebrated as a part of the rustic’s living heritage.

The first cross-cultural take a look at of its kind, The Aging Body in Dance offers an important resource for scholars and practitioners considering global dance cultures and their differing responses to the arena’s aging population.
