OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
DANSOX: Dancing on Violent Ground: Utopia as Dispossession in Euro-American Theater Dance
Arabella Stanger, Senior Lecturer in Drama: Theatre and Performance at the University of Sussex, will be discussing her new book.
‘Dancing on Violent Ground: Utopia as Dispossession in Euro-American Theater Dance’ develops a new theory of choreographic space to shows how the embodied forms of hope promised in ballet and progressive dance modernisms conceal and depend on spatial operations of imperial, colonial, and racial subjection. Bold in its arguments and rigorous in its critique, Dancing on Violent Ground asks how performance scholars can develop a practice of thinking hopefully, without expunging history from their site of analysis.
