Turner Publicaciones, S.L. La Ribot. Distinguished anyways
Book SynopsisIn 2021, La Ribot presented Distinguished Anyways at the Spanish Academy in Rome, four pieces that played with sunlight and paint, as part of her project, Distinguished Pieces, developed since 1993. One of these was created specifically for the occasion, creating a dialogue with a specific place. If these pieces were previously presented in theatrical or museum spaces, now they approach architecture, history and even astronomy to create an ephemeral space for representation within a place as peculiar as the Academy.Distinguished Anyways is not only a reflection on the career of an unclassifiable artist at her best, but it is the first book to celebrate one hundred and fifty years of the Spanish Academy in Rome.Text in English, Spanish and Italian.

MP-KAN Uni Press of Kansas Gene Kelly The Making of a Creative Legend
Book SynopsisWhether as a curiosity or a beloved idol, Gene Kelly lives on in our cultural memory as a fantastic dancer in MGM musicals, especially Singin' in the Rain. But dancing, however extraordinary, was only one of his many gifts. This book, for the first time, offers a full picture of Gene Kelly as the Renaissance man he actually was.Trade ReviewHess and Dabholkar's Gene Kelly: The Making of a Creative Legend is the most complete biography of Gene Kelly to date. It offers a substantial addition to what we know about Gene Kelly's career and enriches our appreciation for the depth and range of his accomplishments, thanks to extraordinary and far-reaching research into materials never studied by Kelly's previous biographer. Gene Kelly is a delightful read and a true page-turner."" - Rick Altman, author of Film/Genre""This meticulously researched biography not only is an important addition to film musical scholarship and to our understanding of Kelly's transformative contribution to the film musical genre but also gives us a rounded portrait of him as a human being. We follow him from his youth in Depression-era Pittsburgh to his early years on Broadway to his career in Hollywood not only during film musical's 'golden age' but also during his work with the navy and for the first time his not inconsiderable accomplishments in television, in film, and on stage in his later years. Perhaps most important, this biography throws important new light on the Kelly-Donen working relationship by providing deeply researched evidence on the primacy of Kelly's role. Also examined is Kelly's role as an active supporter of progressive causes during the New Deal and the McCarthy era and its underlying connection to the 'common man' roles he developed with great sympathy. The authors illuminate Kelly's role as artist and innovator not only in his championship of dance as an art form but also in his role as an educator who effectively promoted the value of male dancing at a time when those who practiced the profession in the United States were stigmatized and stereotyped."" - Beth Genne, professor of dance history, University of Michigan

University of Massachusetts Press The Moiseyev Dance Company Tours America:
Book SynopsisDuring the Cold War, dancers and musicians from the United States and the USSR were drawn into the battle for hearts and minds, crossing the Iron Curtain to prove their artistic and ideological prowess. After the passage of the Lacy-Zarubin Agreement, direct cultural exchange between the two superpowers opened up, and the Moiseyev Dance Company arrived in the United States in 1958. The first Soviet cultural representatives to tour America, this folk-dance troupe’s repertoire included dances from territories controlled or influenced by the USSR, including Uzbekistan, Crimea, and Poland. Drawing on contemporary personal and published accounts, Victoria Hallinan explores why the dancers garnered overwhelming acclaim during their multicity tour and Ed Sullivan Show appearance. The “boy-meets-girl” love stories of the dances, and their idealized view of multiple Soviet cultures living together in harmony, presented a comforting image of post–World War II gender norms and race relations for audiences. Americans saw the dancers—their supposed enemies—as humans rather than agents of communist contagion.Trade ReviewIn this important book, Hallinan uses audience reception to analyze how Americans looked at the troupe, and she has done enormous archival research to track down letters from audience members to the Moiseyev company, dance reviews in major US magazines and newspapers, and contemporary accounts of the company found in newspapers." - Anthony Shay, author of The Igor Moiseyev Dance Company: Dancing Diplomats"The Moiseyev Dance Company Tours America is a significant contribution to the fields of dance, cultural diplomacy, and Cold War studies.

Amsterdam University Press Building Musical Culture in Nineteenth-Century
Book SynopsisWhen people attend classical music concerts today, they sit and listen in silence, offering no audible reactions to what they're hearing. We think of that as normal-but, as Darryl Cressman shows in this book, it's the product of a long history of interrelationships between music, social norms, and technology. Using the example of Amsterdam's Concertgebouw in the nineteenth century, Cressman shows how its design was in part intended to help discipline and educate concert audiences to listen attentively - and analysis of its creation and use offers rich insights into sound studies, media history, science and technology studies, classical music, and much more.Table of ContentsList of Illustrations Acknowledgements Chapter One: The Concert Hall as a Medium of Musical Culture Chapter Two: Listening, Attentive Listening, and Musical Meaning Chapter Three: Patronage, Class, and Buildings for Music: Aristocratic Opera Houses and Bourgeois Concert Halls Chapter Four: Acoustic Architecture Before Science: Designing the Sound of the Concertgebouw Chapter Five: Frisia Non Cantat: The Unmusicality of the Dutch Chapter Six: Listening to Media History References Index
