Author SanSan Kwan looks specifically at duets, focusing on \"East\" \"West\" pairings, and how dance artists from different cultural and movement backgrounds -Asia, the Asian diaspora, Europe, and the United States; trained in contemporary dance, hip hop, flamenco, Thai classical dance, kabuki, and butoh - find ways to collaborate. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eKwan acknowledges the forces of dissension, prejudice, and violence present in any contact zone, but ultimately asserts that choreographic invention across difference can be an act of love in the face of loss and serve as a model for difficult, imaginative, compassionate global affiliation. \u003cem\u003eLove Dances\u003c\/em\u003e contends that the practice and performance of dance serves as a revelatory site for working across culture. Body-to-body interaction on the stage carries the potential to model everyday encounters across difference in the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSanSan Kwan\u003c\/strong\u003e is Associate Professor in the Department of Theater, Dance, and Performance Studies at UC Berkeley.
