Classical Ballet: A Discourse of Difference
Syphilis is given over to sentimentalists’: The Dublin Medical Press and Circular and the drive to extend the Contagious Diseases Acts
In 1878, a meeting organised in Dublin by those in favour of repealing the contentious Contagious Diseases Acts ended in chaos and disruption. The acts themselves empowered police and doctors to forcibly detain and examine women (within specified geographical locations) suspected of being infected with venereal disease. The campaign to abolish the acts appeared to lack the widespread support that it had gathered in England, particularly in medica…

II. Shared Distance
Dancing Democracy
Our panel, on “Dancing Democracy,” was conceived and organized this spring and summer, well before September 11. The New School turns out to be a prime location for the topic, and its unanticipated urgency, given the proximity of the New School to ground zero and its historical connection with the self-consciously democratic endeavor of modern dance. This was a genre that sought to distinguish itself as a democratic art form, in response to the p…
Carolee Scheemann: A Life Drawing
More than visual art, this choreographed sequence in time and space made from Schneemann's childhood drawings is conceived and designed as “gestural performance.”

Feminist Theory Across the Millennial Divide
Every so often I receive a request to anthologize my 1987 article, “The Balanchine Woman: Of Hummingbirds and Channel Swimmers” (Daly 1987), in which I used the feminist theory of the male gaze to analyze a prototypical pas de deux. So far, I have declined each one, or proposed that the article be published in tandem with “Dance History and Feminist Theory: Reconsidering Isadora Duncan and the Male Gaze,” a 1992 essay that critiqued the very theo…

A Cultural History of Gesture
Isadora Duncan's Dance Theory
In America, around 1900, Edith Wharton wrote in her autobiography, “[O]nly two kinds of dancing were familiar...: waltzing in the ballroom and pirouetting on the stage”. Wharton missed her earliest opportunity to see Duncan, in 1899, when a Boston philanthropist and Newport hostess featured the young dancer at a garden party: “Isadora Duncan?” People repeated the unknown name, wondering why it had been used to bait Miss Mason's invitation....

The Play of Dance: "An Introduction to "Lamb, Lamb, Lamb, Lamb, Lamb
At 50, Deborah Hay is one of the few original postmodern choreographers still actively exploring an antitechnical aesthetic. While the likes of Trisha Brown, David Gordon, and Twyla Tharp have turned to increasingly virtuosic dancers and movement styles, Hay is still interested in the aesthetics of the lived-rather than the mastered-body. She still exists (both literally-in Austin, Texas-as well as metaphorically) at the margins of the art, refus…

I. Unlimited Partnership: Dance and Feminist Analysis
Among all the arts in western culture, dance may have the most to gain from feminist analysis. Certainly the two are highly compatible. Dance is an art form of the body, and the body is where gender distinctions are generally understood to originate. The inquiries that feminist analysis makes into the ways that the body is shaped and comes to have meaning are directly and immediately applicable to the study of dance, which is, after all, a kind o…

Dance and the Lived Body: A Descriptive Aesthetics
Movement and Gender: A Roundtable Discussion
At first glance Johanna Boyce and Bill T. Jones seem impossibly different. Boyce, often accused of being undancerly, is zoftig and weighted while Jones deploys lean, finely tuned muscles. Working since the mid-8os with an all-female company Boyce frequently uses untrained dancers in a homemade synchrony of movement that suggests an alternative vision of human relationships with a special place for women. In contrast, Jones' work, often created in…

Movement Analysis: Piecing Together the Puzzle
is a blanket term covering methods as wideranging as Paul Ekman's Facial Affect Scoring Test, Laban Movement Analysis (LMA), and Ray L. Birdwhistell's kinesics. The field can be divided roughly in two. Nonverbal behavior research (or nonverbal communication research), which focuses mainly on the actions and structure of everyday life, has largely been created by psychologists, anthropologists, and ethologists. LMA, which deals with the qualities …
