I have identified 3 pieces of literature I will for the literature review they can be found at my delicious account http://www.delicious.com/sykes_ellie they are: ‘Frozen landscapes: a Foucauldian genealogy of the ideal ballet dancer’s body.’ This is a research piece which looks at what is an ideal shape for dancers, British Journal of Nutrition’s ‘Bone density in ballet dancers’ which is a scientific research piece which shows concerns to the health of dancers with regard to brittle bones which is often a sign of malnutrition. And finally a piece I used to quote in my Inquiry plan ‘Fuel For Performance’ Wozny (2010). I have chosen these because they look at all different aspects of my inquiry. The first looks at what is expected of dancers in terms of how their bodies look, the second looks at health risks in dancers and the third looks at healthy nutrition for dancers.
