Choreographing Queerness

Speaker: Adeline Chevrier-Bosseau (American Literature and Dance Studies, Sorbonne Université)

Venue: Online

Abstract

In “Choreographing Queerness,” Adeline Chevrier-Bosseau explores how queerness can be performed in the very gender normative grammar of classical ballet. Doing so, she will reflect on her own “Poetry in Motion: Translating Emily Dickinson’s Poetry into Dance” project, part of which will be performed at the Seville Conference. Her scholarly work has focused on the dialogue between literature and dance, and one of Chevrier-Bosseau’s fundamental investigations is “how a literary text might be danced.” Her attention to the body’s poetry and the poetry in choreographed bodily movements will be featured in this presentation analyzing dance that represents Dickinson’s queer prosodies and stylistic innovations.
