| Summary |
"Enter the groundbreaking and glorious world of queer dance. Two women hold each other tight as they dance the two-step. A fierce-eyed man in a long red dress performs flamenco. A dancer improvises in a blooming garden, blending diverse influences into astyle all their own. This book showcases twelve individual artists and companies who are reclaiming traditional genres and building inclusive dance communities. Whether professionals or amateurs, ballerinas or experimental performers, pole dancers or linedancers, these artists embody the queer experience in unique ways. Yael Malka's intimate and visceral photography sets the scene with dramatically lit performance shots, tender portraits of artists rehearsing in their studios, and close-ups of dazzling makeup and costumes. Evocative essays by Coco Romack, drawn from interviews with the dancers, offer in-depth looks into their creative processes and artistic visions. This beautiful book documents the rise of a new generation of artists and will inspire dance lovers, queer creators, and anyone who delights in the power of the human body in motion"-- Provided by publisher. |
