New Chapter in (Re:) Claiming Ballet published by Intellect May 2021

Gleich with co-author Molly Faulkner have contributed a chapter, “Should there be a Female ballet canon? Seven Radical Acts of Inclusion” to (Re:) Claiming Ballet published by Intellect Books and edited by Adesola Akinleye.

Description:

“The collection of essays demonstrates that ballet is not a single White Western dance form but has been shaped by a range of other cultures. In so doing, the authors open a conversation and contribute to the discourse beyond the vantage point of mainstream to look at such issues as homosexuality and race. And to demonstrate that ballet’s denial of the first and exclusion of the second needs rethinking.”
