Book excerpt: When she's betrayed by a vengeful ex- during her audition, Ballet prodigy Jandra is seriously injured. Her life seems ruined, but a secretive woman offers to pay for her surgery if she'll give a year of her life to working for the agency. Before she knows it, Jandra is training as an anti-terrorism field officer for an organization that specializes in fitting the talent to the job. Soon, she's assigned to a teaching position at Crystal University as a dance instructor while secretly trying to infiltrate a suspected terrorist cell, with a charming British guy as tech support. She seems to be a natural at her new profession, but it's not long before she discovers that there's no terrorism here: not unless you count rape, which Jandra, who can't forget her sister's tragic history, definitely does. It's not long before she's off the case, but she stays on her toes, fighting a different kind of threat with an implacable commitment and a deadly work ethic. Tutu chez!

Download or read book Constant Lambert written by Stephen Lloyd and published by Boydell & Brewer Ltd. This book was released on 2014 with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "To the economist and ballet enthusiast John Maynard Keynes he was potentially the most brilliant man he'd ever met; to Dame Ninette de Valois he was the greatest ballet conductor and advisor this country has ever had; to the composer Denis ApIvor he was the greatest, mostr lovable, and most entertaining personality of the musical world; whilst to the dance critic Clement Crisp he was quite simply a musician of genius. Yet sixty years after his ... death Constant Lambert is little known today. As a composer he is remembered for his jazz-inspired The Rio Grande but little more, and for a man who ... devoted the graeter part of his life to the establishment of English ballet his work is largely unrecognized today. [This book] looks not only at his music but at his journalism, his talks for the BBC, his championing of jazz (in particular, Duke Ellington), and, more privately - his longstanding affair with Margot Fonteyn. ..."--Book jacket.

Book Synopsis Americanization of History by : Kathleen McDonald
Download or read book Americanization of History written by Kathleen McDonald and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2010-10-12 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays searches for how history and literature translate into filmic texts that then reflect the time and place of the translation. Major motion pictures as well as television movies and series are the sites of this exploration. The opening essay surveys what films tell us it means to be set in a medieval time, while the second looks at one of the most powerful movie studios since the earliest days of movie-making, Walt Disney Studios. The second section investigates classic Americana by delving specifically into the hegemonic power of Walt Disney Studios, by considering the union between the American pastime of baseball and the great white way of Broadway, and by discovering the constantly morphing relationship of the icons of the Wild West. Section three looks at characters living outside of roles considered socially appropriate in their world: vampire slayers, mobsters, and those with multiple personalities. The fourth section studies how present-day mores of power and beauty control revisions of historically-based stories through issues of vengeance, race, sexuality, and the notion of beauty itself. The final section takes up the question of what it means to historicize the present moment, and analyzes the current period via a very popular and long-running show’s depiction of sexuality as accepted or rejected within a paradigm that appears not merely to tolerate, but actively to promote, deviance. The last essay questions the very concepts of time and history themselves. The articles do not reach one conclusion regarding this topic, but instead provide a variety of perspectives which help to theorize the issue for the discerning reader.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on Nussknacker und Mausekönig written by Prussian author ETA Hoffman in 1816, this story tells a children's version of the Nutcracker, as observed by Louise and Thelma of The Little Rattuses™ fame. This is the same story that, in 1892, was transposed into a ballet by the Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky along with choreographers Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov. Their version was adapted by none other than Alexandre Dumas. Mine was evidently adapted by a dumb-ass.

He has access to a host of aspiring actresses who come to him looking to get into the movies, but just because he can find the right person for the right part doesn't mean he has a decent character. Ben's problem isn't his lack of financial charity, it's his lack of respect for any gender that's not him. On Christmas Eve, he's visited by his dead partner, who tells him he's doomed to a miserable after-party if he can't stop irresponsibly partying in this life. Can the ghosts of relationships past and the non-conforming and flamboyant ghosts of things to come wise Ben up to the wisdom of MeToo or will he end up condemned to a cold and lonely TooMe?

Book excerpt: In his first non-fiction book, this prolific author takes an amateur fan's look at the science and silliness of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and tries to understand how their meteoric success of the 2008-2019 era could have seemingly soured so dramatically as they moved into Phase 4 and beyond. Are things really as bad as they seem? Are the cracks in the Marvel edifice something new, or have they been there all along, but willingly overlooked by audiences who were dazzled by the sprawling, unprecedented spectacle that Marvel initially unleashed on the eager cinematic world? Is this juggernaut really heading for a cliff, and if so, how can it be turned around? The answers may surprise you or they may be the same things you've been thinking all along!
