Abstract

This article speaks about transmission and disability culture, and about a dance created by a disabled person, German choreographer Raimund Hoghe, in order to excavate something lost: disability culture's history, disabled people's sense of a particular history that pertains to them and that puts their unique embodiment and enmindment into a wider temporal perspective. Waltzing and turning are dancerly metaphors throughout this article, ways in which language and movement join in dance work about that which has vanished.
