Book: Butting Out: Reading Resistive Choreographies Through Works By Jawole Willa Jo Zollar And Chandralekha

Jawole Willa Jo Zollar and Chandralekha are major choreographers of the 20th century whose work will leave the dance field with a legacy as important and strong as that of Martha Graham and Doris Humphrey. Zollar is Artistic Director of the world-renowned company, The Urban Bush Women (based in New York City), and Chandralekha is an Indian choreographer (based in Madras) who has performed internationally and is known for her radical mixing of postmodern and traditional dance forms. In this nuanced and in-depth study, dance scholar Ananya Chatterjea shows how each of these choreographers has positioned herself through performance in terms of gender, race, and nationality. Reading each dancer's major works in order to assess their unique contributions to the development of global culture, Butting Out does important theoretical work to identify common threads in the history of cultural production and the aesthetic philosophies of the artists. Chatterjea draws on theory from an array of complementary fields, including women's studies, African-American studies, and postcolonial studies. The book is beautifully enhanced by 42 black and white photographs.

myMetro » Rap Festival seni Rap FESTIVAL seni berskala kecil, KL Fringe, kembali lagi tahun ini. Menggabungkan teater, muzik, filem dan tari, festival ini dilihat sebagai platform untuk pengkarya antarabangsa berkongsi pentas di Kuala Lumpur. Menurut Kurator KL Fringe, Dr Zulkifli Mohamad, Fringe Festival selalunya menjadi festival seni di samping festival besar seperti di Edinburgh, Adelaide dan Minnesota. “Memandangkan keadaan ekonomi tidak memberangsangkan tahun ini, kami hanya mampu mempersembahkan program siri Teater Tari (Danstheater Series) yang menampilkan tujuh pengkarya dalam persembahan 20 hingga 30 minit. “Siri Teater Tari KL Fringe mempersembahkan Cetus pada 6 dan 7 November ini di Aswara. Terlebih dulu, pada 3 November diadakan sebuah persembahan syarahan oleh Prof Ananya Chatterjea dari University of Minnesota, di Annexe Gallery, Pasar Seni, Kuala Lumpur pada jam 8.30 malam,” katanya. Menurut Zulkifli, KL Fringe ini bakal memeriahkan lagi kegiatan kesenian di Kuala Lumpur, sekali gus mempopularkan genre teater tari serta pengertian Timur dan Barat dalam gaya moden dan tradisi. Apa yang menarik katanya adalah karya yang ditampilkan oleh Zubin Mohamad meletakkan Mak Yong dan Manora bersama. “Danstheater diambil dari kata Tanztheater yang berasal dari Jerman. Ia seterusnya menjadikan persembahan teater tari untuk menarik perhatian penggemar tari kontemporari dan teater,” katanya. Cetus turut menampilkan Rathimalar yang lama bergiat bersama Ramli Ibrahim dan Sutra Dance Theatre, Suhaili Ahmad Kamil yang hangat dalam You Think You Can Dance? musim pertama dan Kie Kuan Nam (Nyoba Dance).
