Meditations on public performance and pregnancy: A feminist dance analysis.
Miller, Gill Wright.

Meditations on public performance and pregnancy: A feminist dance analysis. - 238 p.

Chairperson: Berenice Malka Fisher.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--New York University, 2002.

<italic>Meditations on Public Performance and Pregnancy: A Feminist Dance Analysis</italic> addresses the stories of eight professional choreographers and concert dancers who performed between 1970 and 1996 while they were visibly pregnant. Miller argues that these events are feminist acts of resistance that work against the grain of cultural, aesthetic, and medical discourses with the serendipitous support of college and university institutions. The dancer-choreographers are divided into three categories: “Diarists,” “Trailblazers,” and “Revisionists.” The first group used their experience to explore/develop their own interiority, the second group to explore/develop their exteriority, and the final group to merge the two, thus collapsing the public/private divide.

520 $a <italic>Meditations on Public Performance and Pregnancy: A Feminist Dance Analysis</italic> addresses the stories of eight professional choreographers and concert dancers who performed between 1970 and 1996 while they were visibly pregnant. Miller argues that these events are feminist acts of resistance that work against the grain of cultural, aesthetic, and medical discourses with the serendipitous support of college and university institutions. The dancer-choreographers are divided into three categories: “Diarists,” “Trailblazers,” and “Revisionists.” The first group used their experience to explore/develop their own interiority, the second group to explore/develop their exteriority, and the final group to merge the two, thus collapsing the public/private divide.
520 $a Miller begins by telling her own story of dancing while pregnant as a young college student in the early 1970s. She continues by examining cultural images of women's bodies as defined through feminist research, the cultural expectations of the concert dance arena both historically and in the late twentieth century United States, the constructions of pregnancy in medical and maternal discourses, and the space provided by colleges and universities for continuing the employment of pregnant faculty. The interviews/interrogations of dancers, dances, and texts include Risa Jaroslow, Daphne Lowell, Twyla Tharp, Jane Comfort, Sandy Mathern-Smith, Sandy Jamrog, Myrna Packer, and Jody Oberfelder.
520 $a After analyzing these works through an adaptation of the auto/biographic theory of Liz Stanley, Miller concludes the most important factor in the reshaping of public images of women's dancing bodies is the availability and proximity of models and mentors. She concludes by drawing on Jean Bethke Elshtain's critical model to distinguish between bureaucratic needs and collective democratic empowerment, and asserts that following this model will promote what Miller labels “collaborative consciousness raising.”
