Postglobal Dance

An important contribution to twenty-first-century dance history and performance studies,Postglobal Danceexamines the paradoxes of choreographic style in an age of border-crossing artistic careers and international collaborations. The issue asks how dance-once presumed to be a local art-is transformed by cross-pollinations, and how artistic practice incorporates transnational perspectives. Drawing on the work of the World Performance Project at Yale and its 2008 Festival of International Dance, contributors-including renowned dance scholars, artists, and choreographers-explore the hybrid expressions being created by a new generation of artists. The issue includes a portfolio of photographs documenting the creation ofThe Good Dance: dakar/Brooklyn, a new collaborative dance work by Reggie Wilson and Andreacute;ya Ouamba.
