It Absorbs:
On Dance as a Porous Art Object


 


It Absorbs: On Dance as a Porous Art Object is an essay written alongside the making of the piece dead dead document . The essay is published as a hand printed publication made in collaboration with Maia Means. 

Can the notion of Porousness work as an image through which we can understand the relation between dance and place?  The essay aims to articulate the importance of the people and ideas that accompany dance making and traces a process in conflict with an economy that force dance artists to move on. What does such ruptures actually produce?
