Dancing Transnational Feminisms: Ananya Dance Theatre and the Art of Social Justice
Edited by Ananya Chatterjea, Hui Niu Wilcox, Alessandra Lebea Williams
Drawing from more than fifteen years of collaborative dance-making and sustained dialogues based on deep alliances across communities of color, Dancing Transnational Feminisms offers a multigenre exploration of how dance can be intersectionally reimagined as practice, methodology, and metaphor for feminist solidarity. Blending essays with stories, interviews, and poems, this collection explores timely questions surrounding race and performance, gender and sexuality, art and politics, global and local inequities, and the responsibilities of artists toward their communities.
“Honest, true, and poignant. ADT demonstrates throughout the pages of this book that the affect of being with, in relationship alongside, and in creative alliance for a purposeful act is a labor of love and a beautiful thing to behold.” – Exceprt from the foreword by D. Soyini Madison
