At the core of Moving alter-natives<\/em> lies a meticulous revival of St. Denis and Shawn\u2019s iconic solos and group pieces, performed by an international cast of six dancers: Sherwood Chen, Ghyslaine Gau, Nitsan Margaliot, Calixto Neto, Pol Pi, and Damini Gairola. Through reimaginings of pieces like St. Denis\u2019s Incense<\/em> (1906) and Lazy Nautch<\/em> (1917), and Shawn\u2019s Kinetic Molpai<\/em> (1935), the performers illuminate both the aesthetic achievements and political controversies these dances embody. Viewed through Anne Collod’s critical lens, these reinterpretations, and in particular their interpretations of South Asian, East Asian and Native American traditions during the colonial era, invite reflection on the thin line between cultural appreciation and appropriation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By restaging these pieces and reimagining them through the diverse experiences of her cast, Anne Collod creates a performance that examines how the gender roles and colonialist perspectives embedded in these foundational works have shaped modern dance and its cultural narratives. Moving alter-natives <\/em>becomes a space for reckoning, balancing a celebration of the evolution of the art form with a confrontation of its entanglements with colonial histories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
