Sensational and enraging. * Sarah Crompton and Robbie Millen, 7 best film and theatre books of 2022, Sunday Times *\u003cbr\u003eBlessedly free of academic dance jargon... Garafola's writing style is clear, unfussy, and easy to digest. She presents us, however, with the life of an immensely talented choreographer whose artistic ambition remained thwarted and unfulfilled. It's a sad story but one I urge you to discover for yourself. * Jonathan Gray *\u003cbr\u003e... an engrossing book, which gives full weight to an extraordinary life... It is the art that is the ultimate subject of Garafolas book, and she does a triumphant job of reasserting its importance and recreating its impact. So few of Nijinskas works survive that is good to be reminded of just how significant many were when they were first seen, and how wide her influence was on succeeding generations... * Sarah Crompton, The Spectator *\u003cbr\u003eLynn Garafola, doyenne of ballet historians, has produced a scrupulously researched biography of a remarkable woman... Garafola's biography of this brave and complex woman is as judicious as it is sensitive. I recently completed a modest book covering some of the same field. I only wish I had been able to incorporate her meticulous scholarship before it went to press. * Rupert Christiansen, Literary Review *\u003cbr\u003e... serious and thoroughly researched study of ballet's leading female choreographer... [an] excellent and thoughtful book. * Gillian Spickernell, The Lady *\u003cbr\u003efascinating, and very well researched * Avatâra Ayuso, ONE *\u003cbr\u003eIt's gratifying when a biographer and her subject are as perfectly matches as these two are. Everything in Lynn Garafola's prior life - her authorship of a major work on Serge Diaghilev's Ballets Russes, her investigations into other ballet and modern dance companies, her years of teaching in Barnard's eminent dance department - prepared her to accomplish this challenging task. And for Bronislava Nijinska, the long-neglected sister of Vaslav Nijinsky, it's nothing short of a resuscitation. Left out of the ballet history in which she actively participated ... she now has been brought to life by this first-ever biography. * Wendy Lesser, New York Times *\u003cbr\u003eFinally the biography she deserves. * Dance International *\u003cbr\u003eNijinska could not have hoped for a more sympathetic and conscientious biographer than Garafola.... She understands the physical, educational, visual, dramatic, political, interpersonal, and financial aspects of the dance industry from the inside out. * Harlow Robinson, Los Angeles Review of Books *\u003cbr\u003e[Nijinska's] life after 1924 is known only in sketchy form, though Garafola does a tremendous job of resurrecting it. * Marcia Siegel, Hudson Review *\u003cbr\u003eA biography ... told in rich, fascinating detail. * Jennifer Wilson, The Nation *\u003cbr\u003eGarafola documents the ways in which a misogynistic establishment undermined Nijinska's achievements and argues that, despite this, her ideas about the relationship between movement and music helped shape the modern art of ballet. * The New Yorker *\u003cbr\u003eLa Nijinska is a wonderful read; a window into the life of a woman who, for decades, was the world's leading female choreographer.... A big but gratifying read. Garafola provides a previously sketchy, monochrome account of history in color for the first time. * Seeing Dance *\u003cbr\u003eA fascinating account of life and work of the great and enigmatic Bronislava Nijinska, who left us a couple of ballets of genius and many unanswered questions. Nijinska, the most influential woman choreographer in classical ballet, was an inspiration for many generations of dance makers, and yet many aspects of her life remained poorly researched and unknown, partly because her memoirs only covered the early years. I was especially interested to read about Nijinska's choreographic debuts in Kiyv, Ukraine, and the second part of her life in California. The interviews of the dancers who worked with her last are priceless. Congratulations to Lynn Garafola. This book, thoroughly researched, full of unknown facts and inspiring details, is a book we were all waiting for. * Alexei Ratmansky, Choreographer, American Ballet Theatre *\u003cbr\u003eIn this inspirational first biography of Bronislava Nijinska, based on global research, Lynn Garafola has successfully drawn the great choreographer from the shadow of her famous brother. She reveals a complex woman who experienced more than her fair share of tragedies and was constantly betrayed by men, while creating experimental ballets and inspiring successive generations of performers, directors and choreographers. * Jane Pritchard, Curator of Dance, Victoria and Albert Museum, London *\u003cbr\u003eThis book is an astonishing achievement. Nijinska, sister of tragic dancer-genius Nijinsky, emerges here as a larger-than-life heroine, an Amazon endowed with visionary talent, yet blocked at every turn by forces arrayed against an ambitious woman. It's an epic tale, based on impeccable sources, narrated with rare lucidity, set against a three-continent-wide panorama of European, American and émigré-Russian artists and impresarios, all chasing after this magical quality we now call Modernity. * Elizabeth Kendall, author of Balanchine and the Lost Muse: Revolution and the Making of a Choreographer *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments Transliteration and Russian Names Preface Chapter 1: Nijinska's Apprenticeship Chapter 2: Amazon of the Avant-Garde Chapter 3: Back from the Future Chapter 4: Where is Home?

Sebald's famous 'Rings of Saturn' walk round East Anglia. At one level On Walking describes this blistered walk from one incongruous B\u0026amp;B to the next, taking in places like Dunwich, Bungay, Covehithe, Orford Ness, Sutton Hoo and Rendlesham Forest - with their lost villages, Cold War testing sites, black dogs, white deer and alien trails. Phil Smith's walk soon becomes every bit as remarkable as Sebald's and he matches Sebald's erudition, originality and humour swathe for swathe. At a second level, the book sets out a unique kind of 'hyper-sensitised' walking for which the author is quietly famous. It burrows beneath the guidebook and the map, looks beyond the shopfront and Tudor facade and feels beneath the blisters and aches of the everyday. The Suffolk walk described here is an exemplary walk that goes beyond 'wandering around looking at stuff' and shows how every walk can be art, revolution and pilgrimage. At a third level, On Walking is an intellectual tour de force, encompassing Situationism, alchemy, dancing, jouissance, geology, psychogeography, 20th century cinema and old TV, architecture, grief, pilgrimage, WWII, the Cold War, Uzumaki, pub conversations, somatics and synchronicity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWho me?

The second in a series of books entitled: Ways of Being a Body. Following on from Sandra Reeve's Nine Ways of Seeing a Body (which offered a historical perspective on different key approaches to the body over time), this new edited collection brings together a wide range of contemporary approaches to the body that are being used by performers or in the context of performance training. The intention is for students, dancers, performers, singers, musicians, directors and choreographers to locate their own preferred approach(es) to the body-in-performance amongst the lenses described here. The collection is also designed to facilitate further research in that direction as well as to signpost alternatives that might enrich their current vocabulary. All 12 approaches represent the praxis and research of their authors. The chapters reveal a wide variety of different interests but they share the common framework of the notion of 'body as flux', of 'no fixed or determined sense of self' and of supporting the performer's being-becoming-being as a skilful creative entity, emphasising the intelligence of the body at work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Ontogenetic Body  -  makes us aware of developmental processes and gives us a way to embody the forms, mind states and movement patterns of our cellular histories. The Intersubjective Body  -  explores the inter-relationship between dancing bodies and the environment in the context of site-responsive performance practice.  The Autobiographical Body  -  examines somatic performance practices that explore autobiography as a fluid experience based on relationships with other people and places.  The Resonant Body  -  considers 'cellular-body-mindfulness' through site-responsive sound dance improvisation, paying particular attention to temporality.  The Dwelling Body  -  sees the practitioner as a conduit: experiencing body and place as continually in process and recognising the vital inter-relationship of place and identity.  The Vocal Body  -  moves beyond the idea of the body as a 'homebase' of vocal emission and offers an integrative approach to physiovocal unity. The Musical Body  -  re-intepreting Stockhausen's Tierkreis offers a physical approach to performance where the body is the driving force behind musical interpretation. The Resilient Body  -  through the adaptive capacity of the human body the performer can develop resilience and potential. \tThe Imaginal Body  -  rooted in the Alexander technique, this approach uses anatomical images, specific thinking, touch and visualisations to let go of habitual restrictive patterns and release imaginative potential. The Learnt Body  -  proposes a training of the performer's body that can consciously transcend socially coded habits and movement patterns. \tThe Kinetic Body  -  through Kudiyattam dance training, this approach demonstrates how, underpinning the kinetics of breathing, 'foot' produces temporality, which is the fundamental source of the presence of the body.   The Cognitive Body  -  uses Damasio's body-minded brain and 'somatic marker hypothesis' to articulate methods of physical devising for performance","brand":"Triarchy Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48742529696087,"sku":"9781909470163","price":18.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781909470163.jpg?v=1720061777"},{"product_id":"embodied-lives-reflections-on-the-influence-of-suprapto-suryodarmo-and-amerta-movement-9781909470323","title":"Embodied Lives: Reflections on the Influence of","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSince the mid-80s, Prapto's moving\/dancing has delighted and inspired  thousands of people in the West (as well as many more in his native Java) who have witnessed, worked with or been otherwise influenced by his Amerta Movement practice.

On the other side (the right hemisphere, as it were) our study and awareness of the experience of being in our bodies, moving, feeling pain, dreaming, meditating, growing, becoming ill and healing, is becoming increasingly nuanced. Academic research is approaching the experience of consciousness and awareness 'from the inside' and making remarkable discoveries.  The emerging field of 'body and awareness' is transdisciplinary and multifaceted - it has no subject listing in libraries and academia or in booksellers' metadata. But it is of central importance to those interested in understanding art, dance, the psychology of health, child learning and development, trauma, the psycho-ecology of extinction, loss and climate change, proprioception and enteroception, ecological awareness, meditation, and the need for societal transformation in an age of multiple convergent crises.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Actively Imagining Body ~ Helen Edwards The Alchemical Body ~ Hilary Kneale  The Awakening Body ~ Anna Murray-Preece The Changing Body ~ Paula Kramer The Choreoauratic Body ~ Becca Wood  The Dreamweaving Body ~ Sarah Hyde  The Enfolding Body ~ Kim Sargent-Wishart  The Imaginary Body ~ Alex Crowe The Instrumental Body ~ Olga Masleinnikova  The Integrative Body ~ Elaine Hendry Westwick The Intuitive Body ~ Margaret Kerr  The Moving Body ~ Sandra Reeve  The Pain Body ~ Jamila Rodrigues The Poetic Body ~ Carran Waterfield  The Proprioceptive Body ~ Laura Haughey The Psychodynamic Body ~ Sandra Kay Lauffenburger The Signing Body ~ Sheila Ryan The Transformative Body ~ Ditty Dokter  The Unveiled Body ~ Celine Butte  The Vegetal Body ~ Ali East","brand":"Triarchy Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48742753501527,"sku":"9781913743000","price":23.23,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781913743000.jpg?v=1720062681"},{"product_id":"uday-shankar-and-his-transcultural-experimentations-dancing-modernity-9783030932268","title":"Uday Shankar and His Transcultural","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis monograph presents a specific experience of modernity within the context of Indian dance by looking at the transcultural journey of Indian dancer \/ choreographer Uday Shankar (1900b – 1977d).
