| book description |

What happens to contemporary dance costumesÂ when the show is over and their surroundingÂ legacy slips from view? How might costumes beÂ mobilised towards representational repair, post-performance? Located within Lea Andersonâ€™sÂ choreographic archive, this book charts a series ofÂ hands-on interventions with the fabric remains ofÂ her companies The Cholmondeleys and TheÂ Featherstonehaughs. Centred on practices ofÂ Disintegration, Preservation, Transaction andÂ Display, they offer provocative modes of engagingÂ with the physical leftovers of performance, theÂ degrading of memory and legacy around pre-digital theatre work, and the temporal material transitions of artefacts enduring outside ofÂ traditional museological contexts. How might we regard these mercurial items? AsÂ precious relics to be protected in museumÂ holdings, ghostly harbingers of residualÂ performance histories, or inconvenient detritus?Â The book travels from props-makersâ€™ studios toÂ auction houses and galleries, incorporating film-making, artefact handling and curation along theÂ way, in lively dialogue with perspectives fromÂ dance history, material culture, sociology andÂ performance studies. The choreographic archive isÂ envisioned as repository of the awkward, scatteredÂ remains of legacy blown apart into fragments.Â Smithereens, which can, if we allow them, demandÂ an alternative after-life that disrupts the vanishingÂ inflicted on these costumes and the companiesÂ who danced in them.
