Deborah Hay makes her understanding of dance as a form of political activism in the context of her own artistic practice the theme of her lecture performance: As a choreographer my question at the time I created the Lecture on the Performance of Beauty was: “Can a formal and stimulating adherence to a prescribed set of spatial and hypothetical conditions be seen as choreography even if there is no learned movement?” As a person suffering the consequences of the Bush administration, I wanted my voice to be heard.
