Book Synopsis Holding On to the Air by : Suzanne Farrell
Download or read book Holding On to the Air written by Suzanne Farrell and published by University Press of Florida. This book was released on 2002-09-15 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Suzanne Farrell, world-renowned ballerina, was one of George Balanchine's most celebrated muses and remains a legendary figure in the ballet world. This memoir, first published in 1990 and reissued with a new preface by the author, recounts Farrell's transformation from a young girl in Ohio dreaming of greatness to the realization of that dream on stages all over the world. Central to this transformation was her relationship with George Balanchine, who invited her to join the New York City Ballet in the fall of 1961 and was in turn inspired by her unique combination of musical, physical, and dramatic gifts. He created masterpieces for her in which the limits of ballet technique were expanded to a degree not seen before. By the time she retired from the stage in 1989, Farrell had achieved a career that is without precedent in the history of ballet. One third of her repertory of more than 100 ballets were composed expressly for her by such notable choreographers as Balanchine, Jerome Robbins, and Maurice Bejart. Farrell recalls professional and personal attachments and their attendant controversies with a down-to-earth frankness and common sense that complements the glories and mysteries of her artistic achievement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From New York Times bestselling and award-winning author and American Ballet Theatre principal dancer Misty Copeland comes an illustrated nonfiction collection celebrating dancers of color who have influenced her on and off the stage. As a young girl living in a motel with her mother and her five siblings, Misty Copeland didn’t have a lot of exposure to ballet or prominent dancers. She was sixteen when she saw a black ballerina on a magazine cover for the first time. The experience emboldened Misty and told her that she wasn’t alone—and her dream wasn’t impossible. In the years since, Misty has only learned more about the trailblazing women who made her own success possible by pushing back against repression and racism with their talent and tenacity. Misty brings these women’s stories to a new generation of readers and gives them the recognition they deserve. With an introduction from Misty about the legacy these women have had on dance and on her career itself, this book delves into the lives and careers of women of color who fundamentally changed the landscape of American ballet from the early 20th century to today.

Download or read book The Ballet Tales written by Khushi Gupta and published by Blue Rose Publishers. This book was released on 2021-04-26 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I was first drawn to ballet around 8 years ago and never imagined that it would evolve from just another hobby to something that would serve as a tool of self expression. Last year, when the lockdown struck, I was left feeling listless because I couldn't attend classes. Undeterred, I began watching ballet-centered movies ranging from documentaries like A Ballerina's Tale to a drama series, The Dance Academy. It didn't take me too long to start noticing certain similarities between my ballet journey and those of the characters. Soon enough, I found myself penning down all of those stories - my ballet stories intertwined with anecdotes from the films I had seen. This process resulted in a short book of seven chapters centered around all that ballet has to offer beyond the actual steps. I hope that these lessons and anecdotes inspire you to not just learn ballet but also to keep you focused on your goal no matter how hard or distant it might seem.

Book Synopsis Apollo's Angels by : Jennifer Homans
Download or read book Apollo's Angels written by Jennifer Homans and published by Random House. This book was released on 2010-11-02 with total page 640 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW, LOS ANGELES TIMES, SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE, AND PUBLISHERS WEEKLY For more than four hundred years, the art of ballet has stood at the center of Western civilization. Its traditions serve as a record of our past. Lavishly illustrated and beautifully told, Apollo’s Angels—the first cultural history of ballet ever written—is a groundbreaking work. From ballet’s origins in the Renaissance and the codification of its basic steps and positions under France’s Louis XIV (himself an avid dancer), the art form wound its way through the courts of Europe, from Paris and Milan to Vienna and St. Petersburg. In the twentieth century, émigré dancers taught their art to a generation in the United States and in Western Europe, setting off a new and radical transformation of dance. Jennifer Homans, a historian, critic, and former professional ballerina, wields a knowledge of dance born of dedicated practice. Her admiration and love for the ballet, as Entertainment Weekly notes, brings “a dancer’s grace and sure-footed agility to the page.”

Step two is a given - she has to buck up before returning to San Francisco and her high-profile publishing career. However, Mazie is not allowed to be left alone, much less have the time for a pity party. The farm’s looming grape harvest requires her immediate attention and try as she will; she cannot escape its responsibilities. With a community anxious to help with the harvest and a handsome, though mysterious, straw boss suddenly available to direct them in the task, the harvest begins, sweeping Mazie along in its frenzy. Add to the mix, Queenie, the family’s longtime friend and housekeeper hell-bent that Mazie remain and live up to her family responsibilities. Mazie becomes acquainted with old friends and discovers some are not who they seem. When suspicious activity in the vineyards wakes her in the dead of night and fish begin dying in the river behind her home, she struggles to stay uninvolved. But, when a close friend is attacked and property is damaged, she is forced to action. Secrets emerge as the old French winery gives up its secret wealth and ancient spirits make themselves known to Mazie. Set where the rolling red clay hills meet the Gulf of Mexico’s sandy marshes, the 1800’s riverbank farm has a colorful history. Originally occupied by Native Americans, then early Spanish explorers, Crackers, Gypsies and a small community of French settlers, the land’s multicultural fabric is woven deeply within Mazie.
