This paper is an attempt to think through some of Nietzsche’s ideas about the body in relation to (post)modern dance. Following Nietzsche’s critique of consciousness, the paper looks at dance in relation to subjectivity but also aims to articulate a notion of dancing that lies outside any notion of lived subjectivity. Its argument is that there is a resonance between Nietzsche’s account of bodily becomings and the sorts of bodily activity found in (post)modern dance. This critique of movement subjectivity is developed through Nietzsche’s remarks about the artist’s taste, which he contrasts with the creative power of art itself. It also draws on Pierre Klossowski’s reading of Nietzsche’s work. The paper discusses a number of dance artists who critically engage their own dancerly subjectivity in an attempt to produce work that challenges their own movement givens.
