This article revisits examples from U.S postmodern dance in the 1960s to explore the emergence of collaborative aesthetics as a matrix for new developments in the performance arts. In this context, creativity is defined as collective effort and achievement; postmodern dance is interpreted as a laboratory for redefining community and rethinking the relationship between the human, the social, and technology. The article argues that postmodern dance can serve as a blueprint for an artistic vision of new forms of social bonding.
