While many published texts focus on pointe shoe history or pointe shoe fetishism, few assess the embodiment phenomenon at hand, or should I say at foot? With a posthuman perspective, I argue that the ballerina and pointe shoe function as a constant becoming. Through cultural, textual, and choreographic analysis, I apply Erin Manning’s theories based in Deleuzian philosophy to the ballet The Red Shoes. Revisiting this classic work, I parse out affective relations and budding multiplicities to suggest a new way of understanding the ballerina’s body at large
