Representations of the Dancer in the Works of Théophile Gautier The Eroticised Body and the Transcendent Word: Representations of the Dancer in the Works of Theophile Gautier, Arthur Symons and W.B. Yeats A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of Canterbury by Maureen Elizabeth Coulter University of Canterbury 2004 ,c ii Contents Aclrnowledgements iii List of Illustrations v List of Abbreviations vii Abstract xii Preface xiv Introduction 1 Chapter 1 Theophile Gautier: The Art of the Dancer, the Dancer as Art 14 Chapter 2 Theophile Gautier: The Flight to Transcendence 62 Chapter 3 Arthur Symons and the Eroticised Dancer 115 Chapter 4 The Dancer as Image in the Works ofW.B. Yeats 175 Chapter 5 The Dancer and the Dance: The Whirling of the Gyre 233 Conclusion 285 Bibliography 293 7 iii Acknowledgements I should like to thank my supervisors, Dr Rob lackaman and Professor David Gunby. In the years I have been working on this thesis, they have both been wholly supportive and encouraging, always willing to act as sounding-boards for my ideas and to help clarify confusion when it arose. Both have spurred me on at the times when my energy and confidence flagged. I especially thank Professor Gunby for his sound practical advic~, and Dr lackaman for the enthusiasm he has always shown for my topic, and for his whimsical sense of humour. I should also like to thank Pierre Daprini for acting as an advisory supervisor, and for responding to my topic with such verve. I also thank Dr Gordon Spence for his contribution as a supervisor when Dr lackaman was on leave. My thanks go to Ivor Guest who read the drafts of my two chapters on Theophile Gautier, and who so generously secured for me copies of original texts. I value the interest he has continued to show in my progress, and his watm encouragement. A highpoint in my time working on this thesis was the three months I spent conducting research in England and in Paris, in 2000. This was made possible by my having been a recipient of the McCarthy Fellowship; for this I am grateful. I thank the staff at the National Resource Centre for Dance, University of Surrey for their efforts in providing me with material in the time I spent there. I wish to thank my family: my mother for her quiet belief in me, and my father for his regular reminders of how much he looks forward to seeing me graduate; and I thank my brother Anthony for his practical support. I thank my daughters N atasha and iv Miranda for their long-suffering encouragement, and their reminders that I should complete this thesis so I can become more "normal." I thank my two adorable grandsons George and Edward for their blissful unawareness of grandma's work; they have been a constant reminder to me that life exists beyond a doctoral thesis. Above all, I thank my partner Joe. Without his patience and loving support, this journey would have been more difficult and lonely. I dedicate this thesis to George and Edward. v List of Illustrations Fig. 1. The Foyer de la Danse, Opera, Paris 1841.

  • Easter Eggs: a Narrative Chronology
    EASTER EGGS: A NARRATIVE CHRONOLOGY Adrienne Edwards and Thomas J. Lax Collaboration is a touchstone for Ralph, who has turned family members into participants and made lifelong artistic affiliations with strangers. As a young girl, Chelsea Lemon Fetzer, the artist’s daughter and one of his first collaborators, remembers methodically taking a bite out of dozens of apples used as props in his Wanda in the Awkward Age, of 1982. Twenty years later, her video documents of his Living Room Dances—in which Lemon cold called the oldest living descendants of blues musicians, showing up to dance in their living rooms and record their reactions—are fruits of an exercise in supreme observation. Under the auspices of the Ralph Lemon Company, founded in 1985 and dissolved in 1995, and of Cross Performance, Inc., founded in 1995 with the support of Ann Rosenthal and MAPP International Productions, Ralph has worked with movement artists and storytellers across the places he has traveled and then stayed: Minneapolis; New York; Port-au-Prince, Haiti; Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire; Accra, Ghana; Nrityagram, India; Nagoya, Japan; Kunming, China; Little Yazoo, Mississippi; and many more. It seemed only fitting that the story of Ralph’s work be narrated by those whose words, gestures, and likenesses have helped to make it. What follows is a roughly chronological, wholly partial account of Ralph’s forty years of art making, compiled through in-person, telephone, and email conversations conducted on the occasion of this publication. It is an imitation of Ralph’s work, which, as Kathy Halbreich told us, always walks that very fine line between the carefully crafted and the amateur, engaging muscle knowledge so sedimented it looks untaught.

  • Romantic Ballet
    ROMANTIC BALLET FANNY ELLSLER, 1810 - 1884 SHE ARRIVED ON SCENE IN 1834, VIENNESE BY BIRTH, AND WAS A PASSIONATE DANCER. A RIVALRY BETWEEN TAGLIONI AND HER ENSUED. THE DIRECTOR OF THE PARIS OPERA DELIBERATELY INTRODUCED AND PROMOTED ELLSLER TO COMPETE WITH TAGLIONI. IT WAS GOOD BUSINESS TO PROMOTE RIVALRY. CLAQUES, OR PAID GROUPS WHO APPLAUDED FOR A PARTICULAR PERFORMER, CAME INTO VOGUE. ELLSLER’S MOST FAMOUS DANCE - LA CACHUCHA - A SPANISH CHARACTER NUMBER. IT BECAME AN OVERNIGHT CRAZE. FANNY ELLSLER TAGLIONI VS ELLSLER THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TALGIONI AND ELLSLER: A. TAGLIONI REPRESENTED SPIRITUALITY 1. NOT MUCH ACTING ABILITY B. ELLSLER EXPRESSED PHYSICAL PASSION 1. CONSIDERABLE ACTING ABILITY THE RIVALRY BETWEEN THE TWO DID NOT CONFINE ITSELF TO WORDS. THERE WAS ACTUAL PHYSICAL VIOLENCE IN THE AUDIENCE! GISELLE THE BALLET, GISELLE, PREMIERED AT THE PARIS OPERA IN JUNE 1841 WITH CARLOTTA GRISI AND LUCIEN PETIPA. GISELLE IS A ROMANTIC CLASSIC. GISELLE WAS DEVELOPED THROUGH THE PROCESS OF COLLABORATION. GISELLE HAS REMAINED IN THE REPERTORY OF COMPANIES ALL OVER THE WORLD SINCE ITS PREMIERE WHILE LA SYLPHIDE FADED AWAY AFTER A FEW YEARS. ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR BALLETS EVER CREATED, GISELLE STICKS CLOSE TO ITS PREMIER IN MUSIC AND CHOREOGRAPHIC OUTLINE. IT DEMANDS THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF TECHNICAL SKILL FROM THE BALLERINA. GISELLE COLLABORATORS THEOPHILE GAUTIER 1811-1872 A POET AND JOURNALIST HAD A DOUBLE INSPIRATION - A BOOK BY HEINRICH HEINE ABOUT GERMAN LITERATURE AND FOLK LEGENDS AND A POEM BY VICTOR HUGO-AND PLANNED A BALLET.
