- Title
"Who Gets to Tell the Story?": Adaptation and Juxtaposition in Two Dance Versions of Othello.
- Authors
KLETT, ELIZABETH
- Abstract
An essay on 2012 modern dance- and hip-hop-inflected work "Mo(or)town/Redux," by choreographer Doug Elkins, 1949 piece "The Moor's Pavane," by the late dancer José Limón, and the tragedy "Othello," by William Shakespeare is presented. It analyzes the three works to show how reviving and revising are central to the methodologies used by Limón and Elkin, and notes that the language of Shakespeare were not translated by the dance pieces into movement.
