An excavation of this image, in the historical context of maximum productivity and mechanical reproducibility, reveals its development in European Modernism-Modernism drawn to dancers of American, African, and Asian origins, to Taylorism as well as to Primitivism, to...

Their innovations, however, went beyond aesthetics.

Choreographing Difference
ISBN: 9780819563217 / Angielski / Miękka / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 25-30 dni roboczych. The choreographies of Bill T. Jones, Cleveland Ballet Dancing Wheels, Zab Maboungou, David Dorfman, Marie Chouinard, Jawole Willa Jo Zollar, and others, have helped establish dance as a crucial discourse of the 90s. These dancers, Ann Cooper Albright argues, are asking the audience to see the body as a source of cultural identity -- a physical presence that moves with and through its gendered, racial, and social meanings. Through her articulate and nuanced analysis of contemporary choreography, Albright shows how the dancing body shifts conventions of representation and provides a...

Converging Movements: Modern Dance and Jewish Culture at the 92nd Street y
ISBN: 9780819564207 / Angielski / Miękka / 302 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych.

As Naomi Jackson shows in Converging Movements, the Y's particular conception of Jewishness laid the groundwork for the establishment of a center for dance in the 1930s. William Kolodney, who served as the Y's education director from 1934 until 1969, expanded its educational and arts programming to include a great...

ISBN: 9780822956242 / Angielski / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 25-30 dni roboczych.

In five parts, the book first examines the personal essentials demanded by dance. The second part looks at the pitfalls inherent in the act of performing from vanity to...
