Madonna's choreography

Madonna, a Pop Icon & a Committed ChoreographerMadonna has achieved pop icon status and has just celebrated forty years on stage. No one had yet taken a comprehensive and analytical look at the power of her choreographic language. Madonna has turned dance into a weapon of seduction and empowerment. She has always been able to perceive the spirit of the times and surround herself with the best talents, while imposing a style characterized by eroticism, sensuality, and provocation. Madonna has played a leading role and been a pioneer. This book by Brigitte Gauthier is a breakthrough in the history of contemporary dance in the United States, from Martha Graham and the Judson School to hip hop, voguing, street dance, and parkour. Madonna is universal because her art is a clever patchwork of the most cutting-edge and original techniques of the American art scene. She has championed diversity and freedom.A professor at Evry Paris-Saclay University, Brigitte Gauthier founded the SLAM (Synergies Langues Arts Musique) laboratory and created the Série S.C.R.I.P.T. collection at L'Entretemps. Author of Le Langage Chorégraphique de Pina Bausch (L'Arche Ed.).
