Gender identity, expression and dynamics through the lens of dancefilms. We’ve highlighted just a few, but there is much great work being done exploring this intrinsic part of our beings and the ways in which we perceive and interact with the world.
Many traditional dance forms have examples of gender binaries, including costume, posture, movement, choreography, characters, and the roles they play in the dance. While we don’t intend to enforce rigid categories or labels, we discuss labels and ideas such as masculine and feminine, male and female, gender binary and fluidity.
Dance is not just aesthetic or entertainment, it’s social, cultural, political, personal, communal and there is much exciting work being made to explore gender, our experiences in these bodies and how they interact with the world.
