From “Arab Street” to Stage: Muslimness and Masculinity in Maghrebi Contemporary Dance
Over the past two decades contemporary dance in North Africa has emerged as a fusion form of street vocabulary, bboy virtuosity, traditional Sufi ritual, Orientalist trope, and postmodern aesthetic. This talk will focus on how shifting notions of Muslim corporeality in the region intersect with gender performativity, local political economies, and transnational artistic production networks.
