His project of Hebrew Dance was a queer take on traditional Jewish dance material mixed with a seemingly queer shift of the antisemitic distortions of this material. Throughout his approach to Jewish dance traditions from a perspective as a nonobservant, secular Jew, Agadati transcended boundaries of religion, secularity, and nation to a complex questioning of how Jewishness could be expressed through modern dance.","PeriodicalId":44926,"journal":{"name":"DANCE RESEARCH JOURNAL","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42184404","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Writing from three different research perspectives and relating to three different aspects of her life and work, the co-authors analyze Nyota Inyoka and practices of Queering the Archive, her staging of Shiva as a performance of (culturally) “queer possibility,” and the act of remembering Nyota Inyoka in a contemporary context in terms of queering ethnicity and “cultural belonging.” Juxtaposing and interweaving notions and practices of queering and créolité/creolizing over the course of the article, the co-authors attempt to respect Nyota Inyoka's “right to opacity” (Glissant [1996] 2020, 45) and remember her on her own terms.","PeriodicalId":44926,"journal":{"name":"DANCE RESEARCH JOURNAL","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48150988","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Modernist practices in their work generate a long modernist midcentury that reframes established historical binaries between modernist and postmodernist concert dance modalities. This article argues that choreographers who drew upon Holocaust memory to address the AIDS crisis engendered a queer Jewish imaginary by engaging Jewishness from ethnic Ashkenazi (European) Jewish American lineages of modernist dance as social justice, Jewish cyclical temporal logics, and histories of being scapegoated for societal ills. It demonstrates how Meredith Monk's Book of Days (1988), David Dorfman's Sleep Story (1987), and Arnie Zane's The Gift/No God Logic (1987) fostered Jewish queerness in modernist artistic practices during a time that LGBTQ+ American Jews developed a queer Jewish consciousness. These choreographers’ works connect queer Jewish modernisms to varied temporalities of global modernity.","PeriodicalId":44926,"journal":{"name":"DANCE RESEARCH JOURNAL","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49196936","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Vasquez Toral’s “From the Club to the Fiesta,” in which we are beckoned to dance in ways that gestures and nurtures futurity; and Gregory Mitchell’s examination of puta street fashion that expands the terrain of their sociality by reminding us that catwalks and clothes are aesthetics of/for queer(ed) belonging in “From Streetwalking to the Catwalk” (196). “Show” teaches us that queer spectacles are more than what we go out to see, asking us to reflect on how we want to see and be seen. Finally, after a night of anticipating, waiting, framing, and shaking, we open the door to “After.” We walk into the world with the residual lessons and effects from after-hours worldmaking, meditating about how we preserve them when the only presence left of our night are memories used for re-membering. “After” provokes thought around the lingering effects of sites and situations now gone, but that had previously held queer community and life. In particular, we confront the effects of gentrification on queer Black and Brown communities. Juana Maria Rodriguez’s examination of Xandra Ibarra’s “The Hookup/ Displacement/Barhopping/Drama Tour” frames how queer bodies and performance catalyze a call to what came before, engaging pleasure as political mourning and as a practice for re-inscription into spaces lost to capitalist greed. DJ Sedrick’s words in E. Patrick Johnson’s “Remember the Time: Black Queer Nightlife in the South” ring true in their forewarning: “Look around you. Somebody that was here last year ain’t here tonight” (232). These words evoke the memories of spaces and bodies invisibilized, departed, and removed, prompting us to think through connections we have lost to illness, to hate crimes, and to gentrification, and how Black and Brown folx carry on through erasure. Perhaps, as the final pages of the book point out in Jih-Fei Cheng’s “Keeping It on the Download,” this answer lies in the intangible, in the virtual and affective landscapes of queer belonging, and how queer subjects can live on through queer interfacing. Ultimately, Adeyemi, Khubchandani, and Rivera-Servera’s anthology asks us to ponder our own messy entanglement in queer nightlife: Who are we and how do we perform at every stage of the night? How can we more carefully commingle? What privileges, powers, and lineages do we hold? How do we activate queerness, and what role does performance and the body play in these processes as we make our way through the “not yet” (as noted by José Esteban Muñoz in Cruising Utopia: The Then and There of Queer Futurity) of utopic queer belonging? The pages of the book, rumpled by the wind, tickle my fingers as the sun sets. I think through my own “after,” sorting through recollections from my own queer congregations. The taste of tequila, glitter, and sweat are on the tip of my tongue. The night is beginning.

In the early decades of the twentieth century, an important intervention propelling dance toward a modernist aesthetic while disrupting the regulatory norms of gender construction, began in a women's college gymnasium via a skeleton. Two impulses generate this archival-based inquiry: one that traces the history and symbolic formulations of nationalism, race, and gender that followed skeletons into the university as they anchored conceptualizations of the modernist dancing body; and another that locates the intervention of a queer body in dance through this skeleton.","PeriodicalId":44926,"journal":{"name":"DANCE RESEARCH JOURNAL","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44579048","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Her likeness has been with us, but we did not notice her for a long time. She appears in a series of photographs of Rudolf Laban’s dance workshops on the Monte Verità, Ascona. Laban had commissioned the photographer Johann Adam Meisenbach to document his early experiments in free dance in the summer of 1914, shortly before the outbreak of a war that would change the face of Europe. There she is, sometimes eerily smiling at us, sometimes coyly looking away, alone or with others, dressed and in the nude, framed by the mountains and trees of the Ticino region. Betty Baaron Samoa has always been with us. Laban scholars noticed her, but did not write her into their research. We encountered her many times in Meisenbach’s pictures, for instance in the second edition of Hans Brandenburg’s seminal volume Der Moderne Tanz (Modern Dance) whose appendix of black-and-white photographs constitutes the core visual repository of early dance modernism in Germany. She appears in the second edition of this volume (ca. 1917), but not in the third edition that was published in 1921.1 The black-and-white reproductions hardly distinguish the tone of her skin from that of the other dancers (see photo 1). This changed when new color prints of the original autochrome plates started to circulate after the death of Laban associate Suzanne Perrottet, whose estate was donated to Kunsthaus Zürich (Schwab 2003; Prange 2014) (see cover image). Betty Baaron Samoa was a woman of color.","PeriodicalId":44926,"journal":{"name":"DANCE RESEARCH JOURNAL","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45910347","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
