Taylor & Francis Performing Cultures of Equality
Book SynopsisThis book examines the enactment of gendered in/equalities across diverse Cultural forms, turning to the insights produced through the specific modes of onto-epistemological enquiry of embodied performance. It builds on work from the GRACE (Gender and Cultures of Equality in Europe) project and offers both theoretical and methodological analyses of an array of activities and artworks. The performative manifestations discussed include theatre, installations, social movements, mega-events, documentaries, and literary texts from multiple geopolitical locales. Engaging with the key concepts of re-enactment and relationality, the contributions explore the ways in which in/equalities are relationally re-produced in and through individual and collective bodies. This multi- and trans-disciplinary collection of essays creates fruitful dialogues within and beyond Performance Studies, sitting at the crossroads of ethnography, event studies, social movements, visual studies, critiTable of Contents1 Performing Cultures of Equality: Embodiments, Visualities, Inscriptions -Emilia María Durán-Almarza, Carla Rodríguez-González, and Suzanne Clisby PART I Embodying (In)Equalities 2 Honey Pot Performance’s Black Feminist Praxis: Embodiments of Collaboration and Collectivity -Meida Teresa McNeal 3 The Performance of Black Young Masculinity in Bola Agbaje’s and Mojisola Adebayo’s Council-Estate Plays -Paola Prieto López 4 Art’s Political Potential and the Violence That the Art Does.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Choreographing Dirt
Book SynopsisThis book is an innovative study that places performance and dance studies in conversation with ecology by exploring the significance of dirt in performance.Trade Review"In Choregraphing Dirt, Angenette Spalink excavates and activates our intimate and interwoven dance with the material stuff of the earth – call it dirt, soil, detritus, mud, peat, humus, ash – it is the delicate and constant dance partner of our intractably embodied lives. In light of current myriad crises, Choregraphing Dirt analyzes how performance – dance, theatre and cultural enactment – can trace the impacts of extraction and trade, reveal displacement and destruction of human and more-than-human lives, unearth and lay bare racist and genocidal histories long buried in soil, or celebrate deeply rooted cultural reciprocities with the land around us. Choreographing Dirt is a lucid and compelling analysis of the essential work of the performing arts in the era of climate change: to illuminate and complicate human kinship with the more-than-human world. Spalink has made an elegant and incisive contribution to the intersectional fields of ecodramaturgy, performance studies, dance studies and environmental humanities."Theresa J. May, author of Earth Matters on Stage: Ecology, Environment and American Theatre"Spalink does the urgent work of bringing ecocriticism to dance studies, taking seriously how dirt is choreographed on the stage, as well as how dirt in turn choreographs the movement of others in and across biological, geographical, and cultural spaces. Her analyses of theater and dance pieces in which dirt takes center stage model how the movements of dirt itself offer new insights to intractable ecological problems."Rosemary Candelario, University of Texas at Austin"By attending to the ways in which the 'choreography of matter matters,' Choreographing Dirt represents a welcome and much-needed expansion of ecocriticism and ecodramaturgy into the fields of movement and dance. Focusing on well-chosen case studies, Spalink’s analysis astutely reveals how performance can illuminate connections between the displacement of resources and environmental injustices."Dr. Wendy Arons, Professor of Drama and Director of the Center for the Arts in Society, Carnegie Mellon UniversityTable of ContentsList of figuresAcknowledgmentsIntroduction: Biogeocultography1.
