Dancing Communities: Performance, Difference and Connection in the Global City

by Judith Hamera

Dancers create 'civic culture' as performances for public consumption, but also as vernaculars connecting individuals who may have little in common. Examining performance and the construction of culturally diverse communities the book suggests that amateur and concert dance can teach us how to live and work productively together.

Notes from paper:

Hamera acknowledges that while the place is stable, space, on the other hand, has ability and power to transform.
