Abstract

This study investigates the competitive world of pre-professional Western concert dance training and education in the U.S. as experienced and lived by boys and young men, an under-represented population in the field. This work examines the discourses of professional dance preparation through theoretical and narrative approaches that combine to illuminate the highly gendered professional dance world as evidenced through the minds and bodies of male adolescents and young adults.

Abstract

This book examines men, masculinities and sexualities in Western theatrical dance, offering insights into the processes, actions and interactions that occur in dance institutions around gender-transgressive acts, and the factors that set limits to transgression. This text uses interview and observation data to analyze the conditions that encourage some boys and young men to become involved in this widely unconventional activity, and the ways through which they negotiate the gendered and sexual attachments of their professional identity. Most importantly, the book analyzes the opportunities male dancers find to develop a reflexive habitus, engage in gender transgressive acts and experiment with their sexuality. At the same time, it approaches gender and sexuality as embodied, and therefore as parts of identity that are not as easily amendable. This book will be of interest to scholars in Gender and Sexuality Studies as well as Dance and Performance Studies. Andria Christofidou is a sociologist of genders and sexualities. She teaches at the Department of Social and Political Sciences, University of Cyprus, and works as a post-doctoral researcher in the Developing Equality Allies: An Innovative Workplace Inclusion Programme. Andria's research has been published in the Journal of Gender Studies, and NORMA: International Journal for Masculinity Studies.

Abstract

Le ±genre fait couler beaucoup d?encre depuis quelques années. Le mot circule. Il est parfois objet de rejets violents : ±touche pas à mes stéréotypes proclamaient récemment les adversaires d?une prétendue ±théorie du genre, dont l?impact dans les milieux culturels est loin d?être nul, puisque plusieurs spectacles traitant des stéréotypes féminins et masculins ou de l?homosexualité ont récemment été déprogrammés. Le terme est aussi revendiqué par une frange de la danse contemporaine depuis la seconde moitié des années 1990. Les spectacles s?affichant ±genre ou queer, revendiquant une déconstruction des normes, des identités, tantôt dites sexuées, tantôt dites sexuelles, se sont multipliés, au point de définir un nouveau ±genre, spectaculaire celui-ci, bien intégré dans l?avant-garde. Le genre est aussi à la mode. ±C?est bien ancré dans l?air du temps : les jeux de genre font partie de notre quotidien écrivait la critique de danse Rosita Boisseau dans Télérama. Mais le genre est-il un jeu, ou une esthétique ? Si le mot circule, les définitions du genre sont souvent bien floues et ses emplois multiples, contradictoires. Il suffit parfois qu?un spectacle présente des corps nus, ou du travestissement, pour être salué par la critique (ou bien condamné), comme ayant une thématique genre. Par ailleurs, contrairement aux pays anglo-saxons, ce n?est que très récemment en France que les recherches dans les domaines des arts vivants ont commencé à s?ouvrir, un peu, et non sans résistances, aux études de genre. Il était donc nécessaire de clarifier ce que le genre veut dire, et d?examiner ce que ce concept car ce n?est ni une théorie, ni une idéologie, mais un concept, c?est-à-dire un outil pour penser nous apporte pour comprendre la danse, son histoire, ses pratiques, les productions, diffusions et réceptions de ses spectacles ; pour chercher à comprendre aussi en quoi la danse participe à la transmission et à la légitimation de certaines normes sociales, et en quoi elle peut participer à leurs évolutions.

Abstract

While it may seem natural and obvious that most white men don't dance, it is actually a recent phenomenon tied to changing norms of gender, race, class, and sexuality. Combining archival sources, interviews, and participant observation, this book examines how, within the US, recreational dance became associated with women rather than men, youths rather than adults, and ethnic minorities rather than whites.

Abstract

"If we imagine multiple ways of being together, how might that shift choreographic practices and help us imagine ways groups assemble in more varied ways than just pairing another man with another woman? How might dancing queerly ask us to imagine futures through something other than heterosexuality and reproduction? How does challenging gender binaries always mean thinking about race, thinking about the postcolonial, about ableism? What are the arbitrary rules structuring dance in all its arenas, whether concert and social or commercial and competition, and how do we see those invisible structures and work to disrupt them? Queer Dance brings together artists and scholars in a multi-platformed project-book, accompanying website, and live performance series to ask, "How does dancing queerly progressively challenge us?" The artists and scholars whose writing appears in the book and whose performances and filmed interviews appear online stage a range of genders and sexualities that challenge and destabilize social norms. Engaging with dance making, dance scholarship, queer studies, and other fields, Queer Dance asks how identities, communities, and artmaking and scholarly practices might consider what queer work the body does and can do. There is great power in claiming queerness in the press of bodies touching or in the exceeding of the body best measured in sweat and exhaustion. How does queerness exist in the realm of affect and touch, and what then might we explore about queerness through these pleasurable and complex bodily ways of knowing?"--
