 Legacies of twentieth-century dance.
Author: Garafola, Lynn Published: 2004 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 twentieth-century. Part I explores the relatively uncharted landscape of French ballet and European art dance in th early 1900s. Part II focuses on women, such as choreographer Bronislava Nijinska and dancer Ida Rubinstein, as well as phenomena that invite a feminist interpretation. Part II examines the period when New York became not only the US dance capital, but by the 1960s, the dance capital of the world. And part IV deals with issues of memory, reconstruction, and historical neglect. |
