Presenting a series of historical case studies, the book explores the ways in which, from the nineteenth century into the twentieth, ballet has been a means of conjuring homosexuality - of enabling some degree of expression and visibility for people who were otherwise declared illegal and obscene.
Studies include:
the perverse sororities of the Romantic ballet
the fairy in folklore, literature, and ballet
Tchaikovsky and the making of Swan Lake
Diaghilev's Ballets Russes and the emergence of queer modernity
the formation of ballet in America
the queer uses of the prima ballerina
Genet's writings for and about ballet.
Also including a consideration of how ballet's queer tradition has been memorialized by such contemporary dance-makers as Neumeier, Bausch, Bourne, and Preljocaj, this is an essential book in the study of ballet and queer history.
