Dance, Architecture and Engineering: Dance in Dialogue

Autor Adesola Akinleye
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 noi 2022
This book was born from a year of exchanges of movement ideas generated in cross-practice conversations and workshops with dancers, musicians, architects and engineers. Events took place at key cultural institutions such as the Royal Academy of Arts, London; and The Lowry, Salford, as well as on-site at architectural firms and on the streets of London. The author engages with dance's offer of perspectives on being in place: how the 'ordinary person' is facilitated in experiencing the dance of the city, while also looking at shared cross-practice understandings in and about the body, weight and rhythm. There is a prioritizing of how embodied knowledges across dance, architecture and engineering can contribute to decolonizing the production of place - in particular, how dance and city-making cultures engage with female bodies and non-white bodies in today's era of #MeToo and #BlackLivesMatter. Akinleye concludes in response conversations about ideas raised in the book with John Bingham-Hall, Liz Lerman, Dianne McIntyer and Richard Sennett. The book is a fascinating resource for those drawn to spatial practices from dance to design to construction.

Recenzii

This book's graceful articulation and detail enriches our understanding of dance. Akinleye's curiosity, expertise and sensibilities as a dancer and choreographer flow through her writing. I love the different tones of theory, experiential, description and conversation that she uses to paint a portrait of the making process. A fascinating and inspiring read.
This brilliant book brings together seemingly unconnected subjects, and conducts an exciting exploration of how our bodies experience movement and space in these contrasting contexts. It has made me think deeply about my own person and how I interact on a micro and macro scale with the world around me.
