Abstract

Examining a programme of four solos by Los Angeles experimental dance artists Taisha Paggett, Rebecca Pappas, Christine Suarez and Hana van der Kolk, this short article argues how the choreographed subject-in-motion can be deployed as a political tactic to critique identity as a static category by capitalizing on the flux of moving bodies.
