O'Grady, A and Madill, A orcid.org/0000-0002-9406-507X (2019) Being and Performing "Older" Woman in Electronic Dance Movement Culture. Dancecult: Journal of Electronic Dance Music Culture, 11 (1). pp. 7-29. ISSN 1947-5403
Abstract
This article foregrounds the accounts of a cohort of clubbers who are largely ignored both by journalists and scholars alike. Grounded in the accounts of aging female clubbers and their participation in electronic dance music culture, it investigates the lived experience of being and performing the category of ‘older woman’ in this context. It examines the materiality of their participation and their tactical responses to being in an environment that has been associated traditionally with youth. In a landscape where scholarship on female participation in club cultures is, at best, scarce, research into the experiences of older women in dance music culture is virtually non-existent. As such this article represents a first step in addressing a significant gap in understanding women’s engagement with dance cultures as they mature.
