Abstract
ABSTRACTInvited to make a work for the corps de ballet of the Paris Opera, Jérôme Bel creates a bio-choreography of one of its subjects: Véronique Doisneau. The insertion of the ballerina's idiosyncratic narratives and gestures stages the linguistic materiality of the dancer: it articulates the intricacy of a body as matter in the grasp of a network of somatic and discursive operations. By examining the binding of movement and narration in the (re)production of the ballet sujet across history, Véronique Doisneau (2004) dissects and ultimately reenergizes dance's subject, particularly in relation to the histories and methodologies of subjectivation resident within the choreographic discipline.
