Changing Time

Abstract

The impact of aesthetic, cultural and political issues clearly has a determining effect on ‘the temper of the times’ and an Importance for the future direction of dance and performance in general. In this first issue we publish three differing perspectives on contemporary dance: André Lepecki, a dance writer and critic who has most recently worked as a dramaturge with the American choreographer Meg Stuart, provides questions about ‘the time of dance’ in relation to the economies of late capitalism; Johannes Odenthal, a dance critic and editor of Ballet International/Tanz Aktuell In Berlin, who has written that ‘dance is once more… a metaphor for change, even for movements in the mind’, gives a short overview of migratory and deconstructive tendencies In European dance; and lastly John Ashford, a dance producer and director of the Place Theatre in London since 1987, one of the most Important venues for contemporary and Independent dance In the UK, provides a polemical view of the ‘British experience’ and the urgency and importance of dance in the redefinition of cultural Identity.
