Abstract

This article explores the relationship between contemporary dance and Antonio Negri's artistic theory, a relationship through which the convergence between dance and politics is recognised. Political analysis in dance is a subject widely discussed in the historiography of the studies of this art and related disciplines, as is the research on and advocacy of the processes of creation as an artistic activity, but what we propose here is a reflection on dance from the political and artistic precepts of Antonio Negri and, thereafter, to open a framework that enables the choreographic compositional practices to be considered as a space from which to create new realities. Thus, by placing dance in the field of action of social struggles, we can reassert the importance of creative processes as a truly powerful tool.
