Drawing On Exclusive Interviews, Choreographic Analysis, And The Author's Own Dance Experience, 'flexible Bodies' Reveals How South Asian Dancers In Britain Use Their Craft And Creativity To Navigate Often Precarious Economic, National, And Racial Terrain. Anusha Kedhar. Also Issued In Print: 2020. Includes Bibliographical References And Index.
This book investigates how British South Asian dancers navigate the precarious intersections of neoliberal economic structures, national identity, and racial politics through their artistic practice. Anusha Kedhar, a scholar and practitioner, utilizes her dual perspective as an academic and a dancer to analyze the labor conditions of the UK dance industry. She argues that the flexibility required of these performers is both a creative asset and a symptom of broader systemic instability within the neoliberal state.
