Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Hades and Persephone” meets Phantom of the Opera by way of Laini Taylor, in a sensually rendered world that seethes with intrigue and indulges the senses. Welcome to Luna Island. Violet, magenta, deep blood red. Passion, violence, destruction. Lila Rose Li arrives at her aunt’s cottage with dashed dreams. For years, she pushed herself to become the perfect ballerina her parents would approve of, but after collapsing on stage, she snapped and lashed out violently. Now, exiled to Luna Island, with its sparkling blue waters and rose-covered boutiques, Lila struggles to believe that a girl like her—a natural disaster—deserves good and gentle things. As the islanders gear up for their beloved tradition, the Angel of the Sea pageant, Lila vows to remain on the sidelines. But the more she learns about the island’s lore, the more she grows suspicious. Luna Island was nothing more than a failed fishing village before angels supposedly came and blessed them with abundance. The pageant is a competition to seek a High Priestess for their commune. To win is to be loved and adored by all, the ultimate blessing. However, the Angel of the Sea is supposed to reign for seven years, and the previous winner only reigned for one. Something is haunting the island, throwing off the balance the pageant ensures. And as an eerie voice calls to Lila, drawing her closer to the ocean—to its depths—she worries its haunting her, too. The only way to discover what’s really going on, and protect herself, is to win the pageant. But how can a monstrous girl like her ever hope to be crowned by angels? Kiana Krystle's enchanting debut simmers with forbidden romance and dark secrets. A lush and sinister blend of paranormal mystery and mythology, wrapped up in fairytale about a teen girl's hard-earned journey toward loving every part of herself.
Download or read book Dancing Women written by Sally Banes and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-11-05 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dancing Women: Female Bodies Onstage is a spectacular and timely contribution to dance history, recasting canonical dance since the early nineteenth century in terms of a feminist perspective. Setting the creation of specific dances in socio-political and cultural contexts, Sally Banes shows that choreographers have created representations of women that are shaped by - and that in part shape - society's continuing debates about sexuality and female identity. Broad in its scope and compelling in its argument Dancing Women: * provides a series of re-readings of the canon, from Romantic and Russian Imperial ballet to contemporary ballet and modern dance * investigates the gaps between plot and performance that create sexual and gendered meanings * examines how women's agency is created in dance through aspects of choreographic structure and style * analyzes a range of women's images - including brides, mistresses, mothers, sisters, witches, wraiths, enchanted princesses, peasants, revolutionaries, cowgirls, scientists, and athletes - as well as the creation of various women's communities on the dance stage * suggests approaches to issues of gender in postmodern dance Using an interpretive strategy different from that of other feminist dance historians, who have stressed either victimization or celebration of women, Banes finds a much more complex range of cultural representations of gender identities.

Download or read book Life Is Just a Dance! written by Rita B. and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2008-02-13 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BOOK DESCRIPTION Growing up in a small Southern town in the 50s and 60s was to have truly enjoyed the atmosphere of neighborhoods and large family gatherings. It was a simpler time when neighbors would get together under the shade trees and visit as they performed daily tasks. Children were free to frolic on the grass and build castles in the sand boxes. Raising children in the 70s and 80s was a very different experience. My husband and I both worked outside the home and our sons became latch key kids. The time we did spend together as a family was quality time. We worked hard and played hard together. We took our two sons everywhere with us: on business trips, on all vacations, and outings. They brought so much pleasure to our lives with their imaginations, observations and innocence. They taught us many lessons of life, and I, for one, am so much wiser having experienced things through their eyes and interpretations. During the 90s life seemed harder. There was so much to do and so many problems to solve. The financial situation of having both sons in college was an eye opener. The empty nest was bitter sweet at first. However, it didnt take long to learn to actually love it! But I realized that something was missing from my life. It was joy: the kind of joy that only children can provide. With no hopes of grandchildren in the near future, I reached into my memory cache and found myself recalling the wit and wisdom of days gone by from my own childhood and that of my children. The new millennium brought opportunities to socialize and to strengthen and build friendships. I kept in touch with old friends; and developed new friendships through mutual interests, organizations and situations. Our activities migrated from business meetings and organized social gatherings to dinner parties and girl only get togethers. We celebrated birthdays and generally learned how to have fun again. It was at a dinner party at a friends home that I was baffled when she posed the question: If I were an artichoke plate, where would I be? Of all the questions I had been asked in my life, this truly was the most unusual. It was one of those things that comes right out of left field and hits one on the head. It is these haphazard mysteries of life that come and go so quickly that if we dont latch on to them, they are gone forever. The same goes for hidden treasures at Christmas, imaginary friends, and things considered sacred. As we reach middle age things do start to fall apart; for some its marriage, for some its health, and for others its financial. Men go through midlife crisis, women go through menopause. It is easy to get cynical and lose sight of what is important. But, if we learn to value our friends, to have compassion for others, and to enjoy the serendipity of each day, then Life Is Just a Dance!

Download or read book Slow Dance written by Bonnie Sherr Klein and published by Vintage Canada. This book was released on 2012-10-23 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1987, the brilliant filmmaker Bonnie Klein (Not a Love Story, Speaking Our Peace), suffered a catastrophic stroke that left her paralyzed and on a respirator. Slow Dance is the candid, moving account of her fight back – relearning to swallow, to talk, to stand, and to adapt to life with a disability. An inspiring book with the pace of a thriller, it is also from first to last, a remarkable love story. Every year, stroke hits nearly 50,000 Canadians; over 14,000 die. It is the number-one cause of serious adult neurological disability, the fourth most common cause of death. Bonnie’s story began when she became weak and nauseous after a summer day outdoors. When she also began to stagger and slur her speech, her husband Michael, a physician, raced her to hospital. Two weeks later, she suffered a second, nearly fatal, stroke. Then 46, she spent seven months in hospital, and over two years in conventional and self-created rehabilitation. Michael stayed alongside her, acting as husband, doctor, nurse, advocate – even dancing partner, as Bonnie “graduated” from bed to wheelchair to walking with support. As soon as she could wield a pencil, she began to chronicle her recovery, and the tremendous adjustments she and her family have had to make in a world still largely ignorant of its disabled population. This is an unforgettable story of honesty, courage, and intelligence that is as gripping as it is informative and illuminating.
