April 12 4:00 PMGendered Performance as Moral Act: Presentations of Problematic Gender Portrayals
29
Room: REND ATara YoungPANEL: In Dwight Conquergood’s (1985) piece Performance as Moral Act, he explains how performance can act as a “necessary and indissoluble link between art and life…open[ing] a dialogue with the world.” As we reflect on representations of gender and sexuality in society, it becomes apparent that some portrayals are not truly reflective of the lived experiences of those identities. In order to start a dialogue to further discuss this phenomenon, this panel employs performance as way to connect with the audience. The goal of this panel is to, as Conquergood states, stir “moral and ethical questions…to the surface” and open a space to interrogate problematic depictions of sexuality and gender.

Through performance, the speakers on this panel explore a variety of gender representations that are controversial and, in some cases, harmful to those impacted. Whether feeding into societal gender stereotypes, or challenging stigmatized identification, the following presentations tell the stories of problematic gender portrayals within our culture.

April 13 10:45 AMDance performance -"No Manifesto"...Challenging expectations regarding Gender and Dance
60
Room: REND ALauralee ZimmerlyIn 1965, Yvonne Rainer, a pioneer in post modern dance, wrote the “No Manifesto” as a means of demystifying dance as a form of spectacle and entertainment and rebelling against the notion that narrative, emotion, and drama were inherent to dance as an art form. She challenged the common assumptions regarding what dancers should look like, what they do and where they do it. While the manifesto is widely accepted as a profound statement regarding socio-cultural context and dance performance, it is also a comment on gender roles. Although gender is not directly addressed, there are implicit messages regarding the representation and/or reinforcement of traditional gender roles in dance. For this performance, I consider the manifesto and its relationship to current social, political, and cultural issues in our country. How are these statements relevant today? What expectations and assumptions do audiences have today regarding gender and sexuality in dance?Kathleen DiehlIdaho State University
