Product Information
Body Impossible theorizes the concept of virtuosity in contemporary dance and performance through a study of the career of dancer Desmond Richardson. Focusing on Richardson's creative insistence on improvisatory fun and excellence throughout the decades approaching the millennium (shaped by Reaganism, the Culture Wars, the AIDS epidemic, the New Jim Crow, and MTV), this book brings dance into conversation with paradigms of blackness, queerness, masculinity, and class in order to generate a socio-culturally attentive understanding of virtuosity.

Reviews
"Osterweis triumphantly renders the terms of Black excellence in dance. Theorizing Desmond Richardson's exquisite achievement, Body Impossible opens a window to how Black aesthetics value embodied practices that exceed the normative. A must read for anyone interested in contemporary performance." -- Thomas F. DeFrantz, Founding Director, Collegium for African Diaspora Dance"What does it mean to perform with virtuosity? And how does a black male dancer navigate the tensions and contradictions of this at once glorified and vilified pursuit? In this groundbreaking study, Ariel Osterweis interprets the virtuosic performances of a dancer whose artistry defies categorization. Body Impossible reveals the dance of Desmond Richardson to be a site of both struggle and beauty. Weaving together the choreopolitics of blackness andqueerness in America since the Reagan era, Body Impossible disrupts the very notions of what it means to be a virtuoso. With prose informed at every step by a dancer's muscle memory, Osterweis leads us to theends of movement and beyond: into the social sphere it ceaselessly negotiates." -- Tavia Nyong'o, Professor of African American Studies, American Studies, and Theater and Performance Studies, Yale University, "Osterweis triumphantly renders the terms of Black excellence in dance.
