Challenging and unsettling their predecessors, modern
choreographers such as Matthew Bourne, Mark Morris and Masaki Iwana
have courted controversy and notoriety by reimagining the most
canonical of Classical and Romantic ballets. In this book, Vida L.
Midgelow illustrates the ways in which these contemporary
reworkings destroy and recreate their source material, turning
ballet from a classical performance to a vital exploration of
gender, sexuality and cultural difference. Reworking the Ballet:
Counter Narratives and Alternative Bodies articulates the ways that
audiences and critics can experience these new versions, viewing
them from both practical and theoretical perspectives, including:
eroticism and the politics of touch performing gender cross-casting
and cross-dressing reworkings and intertextuality cultural exchange
and hybridity.
