To some, Jerome Robbins was a demanding perfectionist, a driven taskmaster, a theatrical visionary; to others, he was a loyal friend, a supportive mentor, a generous and entertaining companion and colleague. Born Jerome Rabinowitz in New York City in 1918, Jerome Robbins repudiated his Jewish roots along with his name only to reclaim them with his triumphant staging of "Fiddler on the Roof." A self-proclaimed homosexual, he had... From the author of the acclaimed "Everybody Was So Young," the definitive and major biography of the great choreographer and Broadway legend Jerome Ro...

ISBN: 9781604978483 / Angielski / Twarda / 466 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Contemporary American dance scholars agree that the first venue for critically informed, aware, and diverse reflections on dance was Impulse.

Over time and out of view Impulse began to fade from memory, and many upcoming dance scholars were unaware of its rich history and seminal contributions to the field. Fortunately, as Impulse collected dust on shelves, technologies...

Using the stories of tapper Bill "Bojangles" Robinson, Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire, ballet and Broadway choreographer Agnes de Mille, choreographer Paul Taylor, and Michael Jackson, Megan Pugh shows how freedom--that nebulous, contested American...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. -For most of my life I lived behind a curtain - not the magic one of theatre, but Stalin's Iron Curtain between the East and the West.

He maintained his connection to the international art form when he moved to Paris as a young... -For most of my life I lived behind a curtain - not the magic one of theatre, but Stalin's Iron Curtain between the East and the West.
