William Forsythe and the Practice of Choreography de Steven Spier

William Forsythe and the Practice of Choreography

Autor Steven Spier
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 ian 2011
William Forsythe’s reinvigoration of classical ballet during his 20-year tenure at the Ballett Frankfurt saw him lauded as one of the greatest choreographers of the postwar era. His current work with The Forsythe Company has gone even further to challenge and investigate fundamental assumptions about choreography itself.
William Forsythe and the Practice of Choreography presents a diverse range of critical writings on his work, with illuminating analysis of his practice from an interdisciplinary perspective. The book also contains insightful working testaments from Forsythe’s collaborators, as well as a contribution from the choreographer himself.
With essays covering all aspects of Forsythe’s past and current work, readers are provided with an unparalleled view into the creative world of this visionary artist, as well as a comprehensive resource for students, scholars, and practitioners of ballet and contemporary dance today.

Descriere

William Forsythe is one of the most, if not the most, important choreographers of the last 25 years. As director of the Frankfurt Ballet (1984-2004) he has been lauded for reinvigorating the language of classical ballet (he is often referred to as Balanchine's heir) in a fearless and comprehensiveness examination of its most fundamental assumptions and precepts. With his far-ranging references and insistence that ballet is a contemporary medium, Forsythe has created a crossover audience, giving this edited collection of essays interdisciplinary appeal - extending beyond the ballet and dance communities.
