How can it archive, memorialize, and activate the past, while coalescing artists, performers, and audiences in collective acts of witnessing? How might performances at memorial sites unearth suppressed histories or engage viewers in ways that traditional monument and memorials do not? \u003cem\u003eMoving Memories \u003c\/em\u003elooks to answer these questions by exploring Holocaust representation in dance. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing upon the concept of moving memories, author Rebecca Rossen demonstrates how dance sets Holocaust remembrance into motion; generates embodied acts of commemoration and transmission that counter forgetting and erasure; involves makers, performers, viewers (and even survivors) in affective, shared experiences; and nudges memorials out of stasis to disrupt entrenched ideologies and nationalisms. Transnational in scope, \u003cem\u003eMoving Memories\u003c\/em\u003e considers dance and performance produced in Argentina, Austria, Canada, Germany, Hungary, Israel, Poland, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Rossen richly illustrates kinesthetic, sonic, and visual iconography in over two dozen works created by Jewish and non-Jewish choreographers between 1960 and the present that span a variety of genres including concert dance, dance theatre, dance on film, opera, site-specific performance, and competition dance. Demonstrating a distinct ability to vivify dance on the page, she shows how choreographers have, across decades and formats, consistently grappled with the Holocaust and its continuing resonance through choreographic and bodily expression.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRebecca Rossen\u003c\/strong\u003e is Associate Professor in the Department of Theatre and Dance at the University of Texas at Austin, where she heads the Performance as Public Practice program.
