This study derives from an trans-disciplinary dialogue about the educational potential of dance performance respect to the gender question. The following contribution moves from a specific case study: the show Collective Trip-una questione di gender by Borderline Danza, a contemporary dance company based in Salerno (IT) and directed by Claudio Malangone. In the furrow of socio-pedagogical studies about gender, enriched by embodied theories and historiographic dance’s studies, it’s analyzed the performance composition strategy developed by the psychiatrist, dance- therapist and choreographer Claudio Malangone. This strategy provides for the presence of the public inside the performative area to carry out an educational survey (with the help of two questionnaires) that compares the pre-show opinion of the entire audience with the post-show opinion of the part of performing audience.
