How to remember and preserve an object of study – dance – that is by definition transient? The seminar will engage with a range of approaches to dance historiography, from historical reconstruction (not least through person-to-person transmission) to critical reenactment. It will place special emphasis on archival theories of care that emerged in queer studies, as for example by Sara Ahmed (The Promise of Happiness), Ann Cvetkovich (An Archive of Feelings), and José Esteban Muñoz (‘Ephemera as Evidence’). Our main focus will be on case studies that introduce historiographical approaches, whether academic or performative, to significant works of Western dance history, including Giselle, Le Sacre du printemps, and Trio A (taught through a workshop element), as well as dances by Alexander Sakharoff, Mary Wigman, and Merce Cunningham. close
