Legacies of Twentieth-Century Dance

Legacies of Twentieth-Century Dance
- Used Book in Good Condition
Lynn Garafola has written some of the most influential historical studies and criticism in the field of dance. Legacies of Twentieth-Century Dance is a selection of her essays and reviews that together document the extraordinary transformation of dance, especially ballet, since the early 20th century. Part I, â€œThe Ballet Russes and Beyond,â€ explores the relatively uncharted landscape of French ballet and European art dance in the early 1900s. Part II, â€œReconfiguring the Sexes,â€ focuses on women, such as choreographer Bronislava Nijinkska and dancer Ida Rubinstein, as well as phenomena that invite a feminist interpretation, such as the feminization of 19th-century ballet and the invisibility of women choreographers in ballet. Part III, â€œDance in New York,â€ examines the period when New York became not only the U.S. dance capital but also, by the 1960s, the dance capital of the world. Finally, Part IV, â€œStaging the Past,â€ deals with issues of memory, reconstruction, and historical neglect. The book includes a generous selection of photographs.
