This choreographed book is dedicated to the phenomenon
of the bare body in contemporary performance. This work of artistic research draws on philosophical, biopolitical, and ethical
discourses relevant to the appearance of bare bodies in choreography, setting a framework for a reflexive movement between
affect and ethics, sensuous address and response.
Acts of exposure and concealment are culturally situated and anchored,
and are examined for their methodological and nanopolitical significance. The concepts of anarchic responsibility and choreo-ethics
lead to a reevaluation of contact, relationship, and solidarity. Choreography is thus understood as a complex field of revelatory
experiences based on ecologies of aesthetic perception and ethico-political agency.
