Abstract

This presentation considers two approaches utilized to contest and redress hegemonic forms of domination: constructing resistance and building relations. It assesses the strengths and limitations of each approach. Focusing specifically on examples from diverse dance practices, it argues that only by embracing multiple and diverse forms of political activism can we possibly choreograph our way through the catastrophic challenges that currently face us.
