Contemporary PerforMemory looks at dance works created in the 21st century by choreographers identifying as Afro-European, Jewish, Black, Palestinian, and Taiwanese-Chinese-American. It explores how contemporary dance-makers engage with historical traumas such as the Shoah and the Maafa to reimagine how the past is remembered and how the future is anticipated. The new idea of perforMemory arises within a lively blend of interdisciplinary theory, interviews, performance analysis, and personal storytelling. Scholar and artist Layla Zami traces unexpected pathways, inviting the reader to move gracefully across disciplines, geographies, and histories.Featuring insightful interviews with seven international artists: Oxana Chi, Zufit Simon, André M. Zachery, Chantal Loïal, Wan-Chao Chang, Farah Saleh, and Christiane Emmanuel.

»Layla Zami's book is a valuable expansion of dance studies with cultural research on diaspora, memory and trauma.« »Das Buch von Layla Zami ist eine wertvolle Erweiterung sowie Verbindung tanzwissenschaftlichen Wissens mit kulturellen Forschungen zu Diaspora, Erinnerung und Trauma.«»An immense and deeply moving contribution. Zami's unwavering attention to transparency in her approach and the honesty in her writing shines through. This work is rigorous, nuanced, and poetic – reaching beyond the confines of disciplinarity to illuminate the power of bodies in motion to recall, resist, and rewrite.«»An immense and deeply moving contribution.
