Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A dogged reporter follows Prince Edward and Charles Lindbergh onto a doomed ocean liner in this historical novel with “a full cargo of intrigue” (Kirkus Reviews). C. Jamieson Spencer is sipping cognac when Paris starts to burn. As Communists and Fascists battle in the streets below his hotel balcony, this world-weary foreign correspondent does not bother taking notes. He’s too busy falling in love with an enchantingly beautiful stranger. The reporter is just working up the courage to ask the woman her name when a stray bullet pierces her skull. In Paris, love comes quickly and life ends fast. After Spencer files his story on the riots, his editor recalls him to the United States and assigns him to sail on the new luxury liner Wilhelmina, which carries some of the world’s most scandalous figures: from Prince Edward and Wallis Simpson to the Nazi-sympathizing Charles Lindbergh. As the royals play bedroom games, Spencer digs up plenty of gossip—but the real story starts when the lifeboats hit the water.

Download or read book Martha Hill and the Making of American Dance written by Janet Mansfield Soares and published by Wesleyan University Press. This book was released on 2009-07-21 with total page 455 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lively and intimate portrait of an unsung heroine in American dance Martha Hill (1900–1995) was one of the most influential figures of twentieth century American dance. Her vision and leadership helped to establish dance as a serious area of study at the university level and solidify its position as a legitimate art form. Setting Hill's story in the context of American postwar culture and women's changing status, this riveting biography shows us how Hill led her colleagues in the development of American contemporary dance from the Kellogg School of Physical Education to Bennington College and the American Dance Festival to the Juilliard School at Lincoln Center. She created pivotal opportunities for Martha Graham, Doris Humphrey, Charles Weidman, Hanya Holm, José Limón, Merce Cunningham, and many others. The book provides an intimate look at the struggles and achievements of a woman dedicated to taking dance out of the college gymnasium and into the theatre, drawing on primary sources that were previously unavailable. It is lavishly illustrated with period photographs.

Download or read book Fort McKavett written by Clifford Caldwell and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2012 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Texas Hill Country is rich with history. In recent years revisionist historians have only written about a select few aspects of the region, apparently preferring to overlook the fact that outlaws, lawmen, Indians, horse soldiers and Spanish explorers crisscrossed the San Saba River and Menard County area for hundreds of years. True enough, the quaint shops and bistros, the music festivals, wildflowers, and the pleasing climate may be the attraction today but the area was home to Paleo-Indians 10,000 years ago. Spaniards trekked through the region in 1753, finding promise of gold and silver in the surrounding hills. Early Texas pioneers ultimately carved out a frontier settlement here, only to be menaced by hostile Comanche Indians, reluctant to release their hold on the region. Fort McKavett, the lonely outpost on the San Saba, played a vital part in the settlement of this area and in the rich military history of Texas. Join the author in rediscovering the fort, and Menard County.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chapter 10: A New Chapter Years passed, and Maya's journey continued. The initial media frenzy subsided, but her impact on the world of art and social activism remained profound. Kathakali, once a niche art form, gained wider recognition, its potential to convey powerful messages resonating with a new generation. Maya, no longer consumed by the shadows of her past, embraced her role as a mentor and advocate. She established an academy, a space where aspiring dancers could hone their craft while learning to use their art as a tool for social change. Her students, inspired by her story, explored themes of social justice and empowerment in their performances. Stories of environmental degradation, gender inequality, and the plight of marginalized communities were woven into the intricate tapestry of Kathakali dance. One evening, as Maya watched her students perform, a sense of deep satisfaction washed over her. The stage, once a battlefield for personal vengeance, had become a platform for collective expression. The seeds of change, sown with her initial act of defiance, had blossomed into a vibrant movement. Among the performers was a young woman, her eyes filled with determination as she portrayed a story of overcoming oppression. Maya recognized a flicker of her own fire in the young woman's spirit, a reflection of the countless others she had inspired. As the final notes of the performance faded, a wave of applause washed over the audience. Maya knew then that her journey was far from over. The fight for justice, though ever-evolving, would continue. But she also knew that the legacy she had created, the voices she had empowered, would carry the torch forward. The Kathakali dancer, once a symbol of personal vengeance, had become a beacon of hope. Her story, etched in the hearts of countless individuals, served as a testament to the transformative power of art, a reminder that even the most vulnerable voices could rise and demand change. And as the curtain closed on her own chapter, Maya knew that the fight for a just world would continue, one captivating performance at a time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Routledge Companion to Dance Studies maps out the key features of dance studies as the field stands today, while pointing to potential future developments. It locates these features both historically—within dance in particular social and cultural contexts—and in relation to other academic influences that have impinged on dance studies as a discipline. The editors use a thematically based approach that emphasizes that dance scholarship does not stand alone as a single entity, but is inevitably linked to other related fields, debates, and concerns. Authors from across continents have contributed chapters based on theoretical, methodological, ethnographic, and practice-based case studies, bringing together a wealth of expertise and insight to offer a study that is in-depth and wide-ranging. Ideal for scholars and upper-level students of dance and performance studies, The Routledge Companion to Dance Studies challenges the reader to expand their knowledge of this vibrant, exciting interdisciplinary field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book also traces the evolution of the Spanish Dance technique, marked as it is by a turbulent history. Antonio Triana was a dancer of mature artistry, dignity and power. His physical and technical achievements went beyond what is generally known about Spanish Dance. His dance presented the essence of the Spanish character and, in his choreography, he used his traditional background for his brilliant inspirations. He partnered the legendary La Argentinita, Pilar Lopez and Carmen Amaya with spirit and gallantry. Over the years he developed a very distinct method of teaching and he became one of the foremost Spanish Flamenco dancers and teachers of his time. Rita Vega de Triana formed the Triana Ballet Español with her late husband. She currently teaches Hispanic dance and related subjects at the University of Texas at El Paso and directs her own school as well as performing around the United States as a guest artist and choreographer.
