Race in Motion: Spring 2023 Critical Dance Studies Colloquium
Tuesday April 25 @ 7:30 PM CST
Brendan Fernandes: in/visible: dance, art, and technology
In Conversation with Lizzie Leopold
As an embodied cultural practice, dance is a social process through which categories of race and ethnicity are both constructed and destabilized. Tracing the movement of bodies and ideas across borders invokes questions on the slippages between Western and non-Western traditions, which both elucidates and complicates histories of nationalism, colonialism, imperialism, diplomacy, and identity.
This ongoing event series seeks to examine the ways cultural imaginaries instigate action and historical texts configure contemporary performance. Through a series of virtual presentations and conversations, this colloquium aims to complicate dominant narratives in dance history and question structures of power that have shaped the development of contemporary dance practice.
