Anarchic Dance
E-books de Art
Available in one package for the first time, "Anarchic Dance", comprising of a book and DVD-Rom, is a visual and textual record of the work of Divas Dance Theatre. The DVD-Rom features extracts from Aggiss and Cowie's work, including the highly-acclaimed dance film "Motion Control" (first premiered on BBC2 in 2002), rare video footage of their punk-comic live performances as "The Wild Wigglers" and reconstructions of Aggiss' solo performance in "Grotesque Dancer". These films are cross-referenced in the book, allowing readers to match performance and commentary as Aggiss and Cowie invite a broad range of writers to examine their live performance and dance screen practice through analysis, theory, discussion and personal response. As much as their practice is hybrid, maverick and hard to define, the various theories presented are equally challenging, lively and fresh. Extensively illustrated with black and white, and colour photographs, this beautiful multi-media package is a celebration of Divas' boundary-shattering performance work."Anarchic Dance" provides a comprehensive investigation into Cowie and Aggissa - collaborative partnership and demonstrates a range of exciting approaches through which dance performance can be engaged critically.
