Product Description
Book Description
Following in the best-selling footsteps of Opera 101, BALLET 101 takes an already popular, yet occasionally intimidating subject and makes the culture accessible and understandable for anyone. Here, noted dance critic and teacher Greskovic has written a reader-friendly book containing everything a novice needs to know to watch and enjoy ballet, but is rich enough to interest someone with a stronger knowledge of dance. Includes a 300-year history of the dance form, an extensive look at fourteen popular and important ballets, bibliography, videography and more!
Synopsis
BALLET 101 is the complete guide that will help the general reader understand one of the most beautiful examples of the performing arts. Noted dance writer and critic Robert Greskovic offers the first comprehensive handbook on how to watch and appreciate the ballet, and assists the beginner while offering enough insight to interest those with a more advanced background. Topics covered in BALLET 101 include: - A thorough and international history of the ballet. - A look at the dancers and their training and physiology. - An examination of the narrative versus the non-narrative ballet. - Lists of recommended reading material and video recordings, and an invaluable glossary of dance terms. The majority of the book is devoted to a complete analysis of all the most important and popular ballets ranging from the classical examples of Swan Lake and Sleeping Beauty to the romantic Romeo and Juliet to the modern efforts of Twyla Tharp in Push Comes to Shove.
