Abstract
The article analyses artistic practices and institutional patterns that concern the collaborative creation, maintenance and transformation of dancing bodies at Royal Danish Ballet. Classical ballet conventionally relies on the myth of the solitary artistic genius who gives herself to the artform with extraordinary devotion and discipline. Yet, a series of interviews that I conducted with employees at the Royal Danish Ballet, highlight the outstanding individual on-stage performances as heavily reliant on the backstage expertise, care and commitment of many; the principal dancer’s body as collectively produced.
