This book explores Doris Uhlich’s choreographic work, which is characterised by diversity and a radical questioning of dominant body images. For the past twenty years, Doris Uhlich has been working internationally as a choreographer, incorporating nudity, age, disability and pressing social issues into her performances. She collaborates with people of diverse physical constitutions, examines the translatability of classical ballet into contemporary contexts, demonstrates the potential of nudity beyond mere eroticisation and provocation, and explores the future of the human body. In this publication, Doris Uhlich’s companions, academics, journalists and collaborators share their perspectives and engage in a dia-logue with her choreographic, dance and educational practice.

With contributions by Tina Amerstorfer, Gabriele Brandstetter, Karin Harrasser, Boris Kopeinig, Mirjam Kreuser, Helmut Ploebst, Constanze Schellow and others.
