Artist/Author: Andre Lepecki | Reference: P2985 | ISBN: 978-1138907713 | Type: Publication

He demonstrates the enduring ability of performance to critique and subvert this power, examining this relationship through five ‘singularities’ in contemporary dance: thingness, animality, persistence, darkness, and solidity.
