[syndicate] The Lek: Sex dances for one to four people.

[Alan Sondheim]

After the Kali Tal nettime blasting and my response, I'm hesitant to send 
this out. But I'm proud of this work, and its association of sexuality, 
dance, freedom and degradation - rendering the reader, at least myself, 
uncomfortable. And this is definitely from a mail viewpoint, or at least a 
ghostly male choreographer's viewpoing? Or is it? There's a whole area of 
performance that's open to question.

I'm responding re: below and in some of the other dance-texts I've written 
- to the fundamentally Apollonian / cool nature of western dance, where 
eroticism is buried. Think of gender relations in ballet, or the cool 
efficaceous computerized choreographies of Cunningham, or Rainer's slow 
and steadied presentation. Early dance - what a catastrophic term - often 
involved sexuality re: fertility rites, etc. I apologize for the general- 
ization. Dance, in short, often involved caressing, fucking, rapture, 
frisson, that was seemingly real. What I'm writing into is the Dionysian.

The difference might be between the aesthetics of eroticism and the non- 
aesthetics of pornography, and here I'm on shakier ground, but I'm not 
talking about a pornography which denigrates women or anyone for that 
matter. Eroticism flourishes in the dance, but of course only goes so far 
- the rest might be left up to the strip-club, which serves (if that's the 
right word) a very different purpose. (The ground is falling away.) So 
these are dances which won't be performed but could be - dances which 
would close theaters, ruin reputations. The descriptions are obviously the 
barest outlines; you can fill in the rest yourself.
