BeschreibungThe objective of this thesis is to examine the efficacy of strategies used to de-Orientalize canonical ballets. Of particular interest are contemporary productions of The Nutcracker, La Bayadère and Giselle. Through close readings of digitized performances, I explore the ways in which the best practices for presenting non-offensive stereotypes put forth by community leader Final Bow for Yellowface reinforce the conservative impulse of ballet rather than inspire radical change. I present an alternative option for renegotiating racial stereot􏰁pes in ballet through Akram Khan􏰀s commissions for the English National Ballet, situating his 􏰂ork 􏰂ithin Anurima Banerji􏰀s concept of partatopic performance.
