Taylor & Francis Ltd The Male Dancer
Book SynopsisThis revised third edition of The Male Dancer updates and enlarges a seminal book that has established itself as the definitive study of the performance of masculinities in twentieth century modernist and contemporary choreography. In this authoritative and lively study, Ramsay Burt presents close readings of dance works from key moments of social and political change in the norms around gender and sexuality. The book's argument that prejudices against male dancers are rooted in our ideas about the male body and behaviour has been extended to take into account recent interdisciplinary discussions about whiteness, intersectionality, disability studies, and female masculinities. As well as analysing works by canonical figures like Nijinsky, Graham, Cunningham, and Bausch, it also examines the work of lesser-known figures like Michio Ito and Eleo Pomare, as well as choreographers who have recently emerged internationally like Germaine Acogny and Trajal Harrell. Trade ReviewReviews of the first edition:‘The fascination of this book lies in the way in which the author is ableto locate the male dancer in the broader socio-historic context of thetimes . . . a vital contribution to the placing of dance and its literaturewithin contemporary cultural debate.’Dr Alexander Carter, Middlesex University‘A complex summary of the numerous biases and windows throughwhich we have viewed and continue to view male dancers . . . Burt’swork argues persuasively that theatrical dance is a vital and threateningsite for defining masculinity in relation to the culture at large.’David J.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Creative Work Beyond Precarity
Book SynopsisThis book offers an original critical evaluation of how freelance careers can be established and sustained in the increasingly uncertain global creative economy. Developing from the author's theoretical and empirical research at the nexus of precarious work and entrepreneurial learning, it provides an in-depth understanding of why and how creatives can learn to become entrepreneurial and how this relates to creative entrepreneurship. This book traces how arts work became creative labour and explores the contemporary organisation of artistic and creative practices to understand practical alternatives to the individualised careers we currently feel responsible for maintaining. Inspired particularly by the work of Raymond Williams, creative work is reconceptualised as practice-based collaborative learning encounters through which we might put shared feelings of precarity to work towards the production and practice of alternative possibilities.Accessible and concise, breakTrade Review"In this beautifully written and strongly engaged text, Tim Butcher shows how creative work might be liberated from precarious labour through a systematic focus on collaboration. Weaving skilfully between theories of affect, precarity and learning and stories of artistic practice, the outcome is an impassioned argument for realising new possibilities within creative economy" Steven D. Brown, Nottingham Trent University, UK "Tim Butcher raises a number of provocative questions: Can we work creatively and freely without experiencing precarity and complicity with labour market logics? Can the creative arts contribute to discussions of equality, marginalization, and social change? He addresses these questions through a blend of academic sources, artist reflections, and his own experience." Ann L Cunliffe, FGV-EAESP, BrazilTable of Contents1. Creative work: an introduction 2. How being creative became precarious 3. Affective labour, affective life, affective politics 4. Collaborative learning 5. Socially engaged learning 6. Creating possibility

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.
