Description:

“Altered Belonging: The Transnational Modern Dance of Itō Michio”

Tara Rodman traces the career of dance artist Itō Michio as he traveled from Japan to Europe, to the U.S., to Mexico, and back to Japan— a transnational itinerary that encompassed varying modernist performance cultures, two World Wars, and the experience of internment. This talk demonstrates how through his performances, Itō consistently asserted simultaneous membership in multiple modernist and modern communities. These concurrent belongings reveal, in turn, the historic and analytic relationships among temporally and geographically distant archives made evident by attending to the full span of his career.

The Bodies in Motion speaker series is part of the Mellon Dance Studies in/and the Humanities Project

Co-Sponsored by: The Alice Kaplan Institute for the Humanities, The Program in American Studies, the Department of Art History, the Dance Program, Global Avant-Garde and Modernist Studies, the Interdisciplinary Ph.D. Program in Theatre and Drama, and the Department of Performance Studies.
