Bel has developed a singular discourse on dance that has often been labelled 'conceptual'. By reducing the stage elements in his performances to a minimum, his work explores the implications of dance as an art form that has, since the heyday of modernism, based its guiding principles on the laws of nature. Bel addresses the question of power relations in dance by working through the questions of authorship and various forms of subjectivity dance produces. Offering a unique opportunity to ground seemingly abstract academic theories in a specific embodied artistic practice, this study explores the intersection between artistic practice and theory. 2020-08-26T09:26:21Z 2020-08-26T09:26:21Z 2017 Book http://repository.vnu.edu.vn/handle/VNU_123/92338 en © The Editor and The Author 2017 294 p. application/pdf Palgrave Macmillan |
