Abstract

Abstract This article mines newly discovered letters from a Sienese family archive to give insight into the artistic, economic, and psychological parameters that influenced the hiring of freelance ballerini to form a ballet troupe for an operatic production in Siena (Italy) in 1750, a period for which such information is scarce. By focusing on the contract negotiations and bargaining tactics between dancers and agents, the article confirms the importance of family and professional connections and reveals the ways in which dancers viewed themselves in relation to their peers by laying bare the hierarchies of the mid-eighteenth-century Tuscan professional dance environment.

期刊介绍： For dance scholars, professors, practitioners, and aficionados, Dance Chronicle is indispensable for keeping up with the rapidly changing field of dance studies. Dance Chronicle publishes research on a wide variety of Western and non-Western forms, including classical, avant-garde, and popular genres, often in connection with the related arts: music, literature, visual arts, theatre, and film. Our purview encompasses research rooted in humanities-based paradigms: historical, theoretical, aesthetic, ethnographic, and multi-modal inquiries into dance as art and/or cultural practice. Offering the best from both established and emerging dance scholars, Dance Chronicle is an ideal resource for those who love dance, past and present. Recently, Dance Chronicle has featured special issues on visual arts and dance, literature and dance, music and dance, dance criticism, preserving dance as a living legacy, dancing identity in diaspora, choreographers at the cutting edge, Martha Graham, women choreographers in ballet, and ballet in a global world.
