The essay outlines a view of the path traced by performance between Europe and the United States, starting with RoseLee Goldberg's definition of it in "Performance: Live Art 1909 to the Present" (c1979), a volume that quickly establishes itself as an inescapable point of reference for knowing a phenomenon that is happening at the time and for which an extraordinarily successful word/label is employed, in its generality, declined later in a wide range of nuances. In fact, the essay touches on the approach to choreographic creation fielded by artists with a completely different sign, such as Merce Cunningham and Pina Bausch, or like that of some exponents of the European scene of the early 2000s.
Il saggio delinea un quadro del percorso tracciato dalla performance tra Europa e stati Uniti a partire dalla definizione che ne dà RoseLee Goldberg in "Performance: Live Art 1909 to the Present" (c1979), volume che si impone rapidamente come ineludibile punto di riferimento per conoscere un fenomeno che in quel momento si sta facendo e per il quale si impiega una parola/etichetta di straordinario successo, nella sua genericità, declinato poi in una ampia gamma di sfumature. Il saggio tocca infatti l'approccio alla creazione coreografica messo in campo da artisti dal segno del tutto diverso, come Merce Cunningham e Pina Bausch, o come quello di alcuni esponenti della scena europea dei primi anni Duemila.

Abstract
The essay outlines a view of the path traced by performance between Europe and the United States, starting with RoseLee Goldberg's definition of it in "Performance: Live Art 1909 to the Present" (c1979), a volume that quickly establishes itself as an inescapable point of reference for knowing a phenomenon that is happening at the time and for which an extraordinarily successful word/label is employed, in its generality, declined later in a wide range of nuances. In fact, the essay touches on the approach to choreographic creation fielded by artists with a completely different sign, such as Merce Cunningham and Pina Bausch, or like that of some exponents of the European scene of the early 2000s.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
