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.
