“Defiant Daughters Dancing: Three Independent Women Dance”
by Rina Angela Corpus
December 14, 2007
6pm at Balay Kalinaw, UP Diliman
Nine other titles will be launched in this event.
About the book:
This book navigates the histories of three contemporary Filipina women — Myra Beltran, Kristin Jackson, Agnes Locsin — who have bravely produced themselves as independent dance-makers. Using feminist prisms in looking at women’s history in the dance world, the book lays down concrete questions and practical methodologies for mapping out a dance historiography that is feminist and
self-reflexive. Straddling the discourses of art and dance history, feminist criticism, theory, and aesthetics, this book is a first of its kind in Philippine dance scholarship that contemplates the depth and breadth of feminist thought within the study of dance.
