The preface of Bill Butler and Elin Schoen's 1979 skating instruction manual, Jammin’, teems with encouragement, but offers one slight warning. Welcoming his first-time skaters, Butler tells the reader, “chances are, once you've roller-discoed, you won't want to stop. You'll want to stay on wheels. And there's no reason why you shouldn't, even if you're not in a rink.” With the tagline “[everything you need to know to get up and boogie down!],” Jammin’ begins with “skating the rail”—a necessary means for first-timers to establish balance, appreciate the tempo of the rink, and learn to control the skates beneath them. Butler then goes on to describe couples skating, group skating, and dancing in place, each of which articulates a relationship to tempo and “the beat,” to the other individuals in the rink, and the contradictions of the rink itself. Jammin’ therefore proposes a practice of emphatic improvisation that is decidedly nonlinear and centers an expressive practice. Jammin’ also cites the logistics and pleasures associated with skating as a community. These logistics and pleasures include everything from “dealing with other people” to “how to become a disco dazzler in one minute flat.” Butler tells us the secret of both is, simply put, to relax.

酷儿表演和激进的可能性:比尔·巴特勒和后石墙摇滚迪斯科

比尔·巴特勒和艾琳·舍恩 1979 年滑冰指导手册的序言,贾敏',充满了鼓励,但也提出了一个轻微的警告。巴特勒在欢迎第一次滑冰的人时告诉读者:“很有可能,一旦你玩过轮滑迪斯科,你就不会想停下来。你会想留在轮子上。即使你不在溜冰场,你也没有理由不这样做。”标语是“[你需要知道的起床和趴下的一切!]”干扰从“滑轨”开始——这是初学者建立平衡、欣赏冰场节奏、学习控制脚下冰鞋的必要手段。巴特勒接着描述了情侣滑冰、团体滑冰和原地跳舞,每一种都阐明了与节奏和“节拍”、与溜冰场中其他人的关系,以及溜冰场本身的矛盾。干扰因此,提出了一种强调即兴创作的做法,这种做法显然是非线性的,并且以表现力实践为中心。干扰还引用了与滑冰作为一个社区相关的后勤和乐趣。这些后勤和乐趣包括从“与他人打交道”到“如何在一分钟内成为一名迪斯科舞者”的一切。巴特勒告诉我们两者的秘密,简单来说就是放松
