IS THERE SEXISM OR MISOGYNY IN DANCE TREATISES? ¿HAY MACHISMO O MISOGINIA EN LOS TRATADOS DE DANZA?

Teaser/Publi ENGLISH SUBTITLES The treatises on court dance that have arrived to us have always been written by men. Does this mean there were no female dancing masters or that if there were some, they never wrote a treatise? How are women considered in these texts? Could we speak of a sexist or even misogynistic treatment in these treatises that not only taught the noble technique of dance but also the protocol necessary to move and succeed in high society?
Los tratados de danza cortesana que han llegado hasta nosotros, han sido escritos siempre por hombres. ¿Quiere esto decir que no hubo maestras de danza o que si las hubo nunca escribieron un tratado? ¿Cómo se considera a la mujer en estos textos? ¿Podríamos hablar de un trato machista o incluso misógino en estos tratados que enseñaban la técnica noble de la danza pero, también, el protocolo necesario para moverse y triunfar en la alta sociedad?
This documentary will try to shed light on the subject with the collaboration of prestigious researchers, choreographers, dancers and educators who, better than anyone, can detect this sexist bias in these treatises published between the 15th and 19th centuries.
Este documental intentará poner luz en el tema con la colaboración de prestigiosas investigadoras, coreógrafas, bailarinas y docentes quienes, mejor que nadie, pueden detectar ese sesgo machista en estos tratados publicados entre el siglo XV y el XIX.
Diana Campóo, Caroline Copeland, Mª José Ruiz Mayordomo and Ana Yepes, will offer their point of view on an issue that has multiple facets and leaves many questions open for further investigation. Don't miss this premiere in my KZbin Channel section Courtly Dance Notes/Apuntes de Danza Cortesana.

Such a fascinating subject! We performed two music, dance and narration concert programmes based on the treatises; one 'The European Courtier' (2019) which considered the opinions of Baldassare Castiglione and more recently 'The Etiquette of Dance' (2023), where we used extracts from Arenas, Arbeau, Domenico, Ebreo, Caroso and Negri to illustrate the concepts of etiquette in dance. Here are some extracts: kzbin.info/aero/PLHDz7PesLIey_TYbQ3c9KtLGc_5dx5CZI
