ABSTRACT
In this chapter, the authors draw upon a three-year collaborative research project through which they have sought to explore and articulate a specifically feminist approach to dance and the city within the context of critical heritage studies. They look at the independent dance group Rubicon and traces of the material our research has enabled them to test the limits of interdisciplinary feminist theories of space, memory and intersectional agency within this particular case study. Ethics and aesthetics meet where bodies are organised in space and time, in society and in research art and politics, matter and language. Indeed the legacy of Rubicon can be considered as a particular form of feminist critical heritage, not to be safeguarded and preserved, but to be activated and learned from. The feminist theory that underpins our approach understands subjects to be embodied and situated within the world.
