Download or read book Intimations written by Alexandra Kleeman and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2016-09-13 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Praised by the New York Times Book Review as “a powerful allegory of our civilization’s many maladies, artfully and elegantly articulated, by one of the young wise women of our generation,” Alexandra Kleeman’s debut novel, You Too Can Have a Body Like Mine, earned her comparisons to Thomas Pynchon, Don DeLillo, Ben Marcus, and Tom Perrotta. In her second book, a collection of twelve stories irresistibly seductive in their strangeness, she explores human life from beginning to end: the distress of birth into a world already formed; the brief and confusing period of “living” when we understand what is expected of us and struggle to do it; and, finally, the death-y period, when we sense everything is winding down and that it will conclude only partially understood, at best. The title Intimations is taken from one of the stories but is also a play on Wordsworth’s “Intimations of Immortality”—in this case it’s not clear exactly what is being intimated, only that it’s nothing so gleaming and good as Immortality. At once familiar and mysterious, these stories have an eerie resonance as the characters find themselves in new and surprising situations. An unnamed woman enters a room with no exit and a ready-made life; the disappearance of people, objects, and memory creates an apocalypse; the art of dance is used to try to tame a feral child; the key to surviving a house party lies in knowing the difference between fake and real blood. Elegant, surprising, wondrous, and haunting, Intimations is an utterly transporting collection from one of our most ingenious and brilliant young writers.

Download or read book Moving History Dancing Cultures written by Ann Dils and published by Wesleyan University Press. This book was released on 2013-06-01 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new collection of essays surveys the history of dance in an innovative and wide-ranging fashion. Editors Dils and Albright address the current dearth of comprehensive teaching material in the dance history field through the creation of a multifaceted, non-linear, yet well-structured and comprehensive survey of select moments in the development of both American and World dance. This book is illustrated with over 50 photographs, and would make an ideal text for undergraduate classes in dance ethnography, criticism or appreciation, as well as dance history—particularly those with a cross-cultural, contemporary, or an American focus. The reader is organized into four thematic sections which allow for varied and individualized course use: Thinking about Dance History: Theories and Practices, World Dance Traditions, America Dancing, and Contemporary Dance: Global Contexts. The editors have structured the readings with the understanding that contemporary theory has thoroughly questioned the discursive construction of history and the resultant canonization of certain dances, texts and points of view. The historical readings are presented in a way that encourages thoughtful analysis and allows the opportunity for critical engagement with the text. Ebook Edition Note: Ebook edition note: Five essays have been redacted, including “The Belly Dance: Ancient Ritual to Cabaret Performance,” by Shawna Helland; “Epitome of Korean Folk Dance”, by Lee Kyong-Hee; “Juba and American Minstrelsy,” by Marian Hannah Winter; “The Natural Body,” by Ann Daly; and “Butoh: ‘Twenty Years Ago We Were Crazy, Dirty, and Mad’,”by Bonnie Sue Stein. Eleven of the 41 illustrations in the book have also been redacted.

Download or read book Waldman on Dance written by Max Waldman and published by William Morrow. This book was released on 1977 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Max Waldman is one of the premier photographers of dance and theater today. Clives Barnes, in his Introduction to this book, confirms that "the incomparable Max is America's great theatrical photographer, and one of the handful of photographers who demonstrate the full range and possibility of the camera." In any discussion of Max Waldman, his name is perpetually linked with the giants of art photography: Cameron, Cartier-Bresson, Brassaï, Weston, Brandt, Avedon...and Waldman. In this superb collection, Mr. Waldman puts the textured, gauzy style which has become his signature to exquisite use in celebration of American dance. "Dance is the art of movement through time. The most fugitive and fragile of arts, it disappears like mist on a windowpane," says Barnes. Capturing the fluidity and life of this moving art form on still film is incredibly demanding, if not impossible. But Waldman not only meets this challenge, he surpasses it by creating his own work of art while recording yet another. Working in a tiny studio, Max has managed to catch the great figures from the worlds of ballet and modern dance - Baryshnikov, Makarova, Farrell, Martins, Cunningham, Jamison, Nagy, and others - at that precious moment that seems to suggest both what precedes and what will follow. These are portraits not of static poses but of movement; the pictures, the artists - the dances - come alive. Max Waldman is, without question, an artist of tremendous style, forcefulness, and electricity. But as Clive Barnes concludes, "The pictures that follow need no words. They are a constant evocation of the harmonic elements of dance, and a constant reminder of what dance is all about - the fleeting images of remembered passion." -- from dust jacket.
