Mesearch and the Performing Body de Mark Edward

Mesearch and the Performing Body

Autor Mark Edward
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 7 feb 2018
This book is an anthology of Mark Edward’s creative practice-led projects. It transmits and communicates his research through varied artistic means, primarily contemporary dance, immersive art installation, drag performance, and photography. Through the innovative practice of 'mesearch', in which the author is both theoriser and theorised, this study delivers a personal, creative narration, combining reflections and emotions in relation to self and performance. Instead of being an attempt to undervalue or challenge the accepted notions of style within academic research, it promotes a freedom of expression which allows greater fluidity between the researcher, the performer, and the writer.

Recenzii

“This well-written book traces and theorizes how through reflective artistic practice mature dance artists can develop the agency to distance themselves critically from modernist aesthetic ideals. … Mesearch is accessible and of interest for scholars, students and practitioners of contemporary stage dance, especially those with particular interest in questions of ageing, queer subjectivities, and drag performance.” (Susanne Martin, Dance Research, Vol. 37 (1), 2019)
