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.”

Book excerpt: 'McAllister's triumphant story.' Benjamin Law 'A ripping memoir.' Jane Turner From the backblocks of Perth to international stardom, this is a story of courage to fight against the odds for your passion and succeed. David McAllister has always belonged onstage. As the middle child in a Catholic family who knew nothing about dance, he watched himself twirl in the reflective glass of the TV and dreamed about becoming the next Rudolf Nureyev. As a little boy taking ballet lessons, he was mercilessly bullied. As a young man joining the ranks of The Australian Ballet, he worried that he would never play the prince because he lacked the height and lean limbs of a classical dancer. Every time he heard 'no', he simply did what he loved - danced. Sure enough, curtains rose for the unlikely prince: he represented Australia on the world stage; he became a principal dancer and performed his dream roles; he fell in love, onstage and off; and he enjoyed a twenty-year tenure as artistic director of The Australian Ballet, transforming it into one of the top flagship dance companies in the world. Fifty years since he stepped into his first ballet class, McAllister reflects on his dance journey, his relationships, embracing his sexuality, and the combination of talent, timing and sheer perseverance that gave rise to his transformative career. Includes 16 pages of colour photos from McAllister's life and career.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Bournonville Ballet Technique offers a new approach to the study of the school and training system of the great nineteenth-century Danish choreographer August Bournonville. It presents fifty school exercises, selected and reconstructed from the notations of Hans Beck (Bournonville's successor), which he made in 1893, and are preserved in the Copenhagen Theatre Museum." "These exercises not only reveal how Bournonville's dance style and technique was directly inherited from the great French dancer and teacher, Auguste Vestris, but also offer a remarkably authentic reconstruction of the original form and content of the Bournonville classes as they were practised a century ago." "The exercises use the original musical accompaniment of the Bournonville School. The piano scores are available in a separate volume (also published by Dance Books), and have been selected and arranged from a catalogue of school exercises written in the early 1960s by Bournonville's foremost pupil, the Danish dancer and teacher Ferdinand Hoppe." "A companion video to Bournonville Ballet Technique is also available from Dance Books, featuring Rose Gad and Johan Kobborg of the Royal Danish Ballet, with music played by the pianist Julian Thurber." "This collection of fifty Bournonville exercises reveals a legacy of extraordinary value: the most accurate possible representation of a Bournonville ballet class as it was performed in his day."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download or read book The Flower Festival in Genzano written by August Bournonville and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 1987 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bournonville's "pas de deux" from "The Flower Festival in Genzano," an important example of the Romantic Ballet heritage, is brought to life through the use of Labanotation. This means of analysing works of dance preserves the choreography of its original form. Handed down over the years from person to person, the "pas de deux" has not always been danced in the true Bournonville tradition; now it can be danced in its original form and style. The publication of The Flower Festival in Genzano: Pas de Deux marks a first in making actual choreography available to students. Detailed information is provided in the Study and Performance Notes which are of great value to both students and dance researchers.

Book excerpt: Brought up in Imperial St Petersburg, Volkova was one of the students upon whom Agrippina Vaganova developed her famous system. This dramatic account of Volkova's extraordinary life includes her escape to Shanghai at the time of the Russian Revolution, an unusual marriage and a great love. Vera Volkova was central to the European ballet world for almost four decades as advisor, friend and, above all, teacher to iconic figures from dancers Margot Fonteyn, Erik Bruhn and Rudolf Nureyev, to choreographers Sir Frederick Ashton and John Neumeier. Having inspired British ballet in its early years with her profound understanding of classical ballet, she revived and transformed the moribund Royal Danish Ballet, working with that company for almost 25 years.--Publisher's description.

Book excerpt: A series of interviews with some of the foremost dancers in twentieth-century ballet, Never Far from Dancing reflects on the paths that their careers have taken since they retired from the stage. Barbara Newman has expertly edited each of her interviews to read as a monologue, addressing every aspect of ballet, from its styles and technical demands to its personalities, its celebrated roles and, most of all, to what happens when the dancing stops. While ballet invites all manner of writing from critics, admirers and academics, the thoughts and experiences of the dancers themselves are seldom recorded. Here, those who scaled the heights of their art hand down their wisdom and recount lives spent in this most enduring of art forms.

Download or read book Anatomy and Kinesiology for Ballet Teachers written by Eivind Thomasen and published by Dance Books Limited. This book was released on 1996 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This introductory textbook looks at anatomy and kinesiology from the dancer's point of view. It begins by setting out the basic structures of the human body - bone, muscle, joints and nervous tissue - and then goes on to show how they interact to form anatomical systems. Finally it considers how these systems function in the dance class, addressing issues such as stretching, breathing, balance, warming up and warming down. Easy to follow and clearly illustrated with photographs and diagrams, 'Anatomy and Kinesiology for Ballet Teachers' will prove invaluable for both teachers and students in all styles of dance. Professor Eivind Thomasen was a celebrated orthopaedic surgeon who specialised in the treatment of dancers, and was consultant to the Royal Danish Ballet. Rachel-Anne Rist is Head of Dance at the Arts Educational School, Tring.
