Abstract

Tomko blazes a new trail in dance scholarship by interconnecting U.S. History and dance studies.... the first to argue successfully that middle-class U.S. women promoted a new dance practice to manage industrial changes, crowded urban living, massive immigration, and interchange and repositioning among different classes." -Choice From salons to dance halls to settlement houses, new dance practices at the turn of the century became a vehicle for expressing cultural issues and negotiating matters of gender. By examining master narratives of modern dance history, this provocative and insightful book demonstrates the cultural agency of Progressive-era dance practices.

Abstract

Un réexamen du rôle des avant-gardes féminines dans le champ de la performance et de la danse : une publication somptueuse avec plus de 2.500 documents autour de Valentine de Saint-Point, de Marinetti, du futurisme, de Canudo, des Ballets Russes, de l'expressionnisme allemand et américain (photographies, lettres manuscrites, dessins, gravures, manifestes, éditions originales et programmes). La première étape de l'exposition Feminine Futures, conçue par Adrien Sina, a lieu à la Biennale Performa de New York en 2009, à l'Italian Cultural Institute. Structurée autour d'une collection personnelle unique, elle comprend d'innombrables œuvres inédites dont une partie est présentée dans le cadre de l'exposition Danser sa vie, au Centre Georges Pompidou en 2011-2012. Le retour à la source à travers des documents photographiques, filmiques ou manuscrits en partie inconnus des historiens de l'art et des collections publiques, permet de franchir une nouvelle étape dans la recherche des prémices de la modernité dans ces zones peu explorées des actions éphémères qui laissent peu de traces matérielles. Nous sommes là aux origines de la performance et des pratiques pluridisciplinaires qui ont inspiré plusieurs générations d'artistes tout au long du siècle dernier jusqu'à aujourd'hui. Une matrice incontournable reste ici à explorer pour le décryptage des dissidences et des innovations sans lesquelles l'art au féminin n'aurait jamais eu sa propre histoire – insoumise à l'hégémonie des « ismes » initiés par des artistes au masculin. Avec Barbara Morgan, Loïe Fuller, Martha Graham, Josephine Baker, Isadora Duncan, Vera Fokina and Anna Pavlova.
