| book description |

How does the production of performance engage with the fundamental issues of our advanced neo-capitalist age? AndrÃ© Lepecki surveys a decade of experimental choreography to uncover the dual meaning of â€˜performanceâ€™ in the twenty-first century: not just an aesthetic category, but a mode of political power. He demonstrates the enduring ability of performance to critique and subvert this power, examining this relationship through five â€˜singularitiesâ€™ in contemporary dance: thingness, animality, persistence, darkness, and solidity. Exploring the works of Mette Ingvartsen, Yvonne Rainer, Ralph Lemon, JÃ©rÃ´me Bel and others, Lepecki uses his concept of â€˜singularityâ€™â€”the resistance of categorization and aesthetic identificationâ€”to examine the function of dance and performance in political and artistic debate.
