Wrights & Wrongs: My Life in Dance: Oberon Books
Autor Peter Wrighten Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 ian 2018
In Wrights & Wrongs, Peter offers his often surprising views of today's dance world, lessons learned - and yet to learn - from a lifetime's experience of ballet, commercial theatre and television.
Peter started his career in wartime, with the Kurt Jooss company. He has worked with such greats as Pina Bausch, Margot Fonteyn, Rudolf Nureyev, Marcia Haydée, Richard Cragun, Monica mason, Karen Kain, Miyako Yoshida and Carlos Acosta - as well as today's generation of starts including Alina Cajocaru, Marianela Nunez, Natalia Osipova and Lauren Cuthbertson.
While now regarded as part of the British ballet establishment, for many years Peter developed his career outside London, particularly in Germany with John Cranko's Stuttgart Ballet. That distance gives him a unique and unrivalled view on ballet companies. His close association with choreographers Frederick Ashton, Ninette de Valois, founder of the Royal Ballet, Kenneth MacMillan and David Bintley gives Peter an authoritative perspective on British ballet.
Wrights and Wrongs includes black-and-white photographs from Wright's career, and as Exeunt magazine comments: 'Anyone with an interest in British ballet will find plenty to occupy them in Wright's book. the many dramas and delights of his life in dance spring forth from the page with brio.'

Notă biografică
This, the first republication in almost ninety years brings a very special little book back into the public domain. In rescuing it from obscurity, the editing team comprising Peter Wright, Jane Frere, Kenneth Wright and with valuable support from Neville Rigby have sought to do justice to the remarkable original, written as it was, by an intrepid boy of just sixteen years.
We commend it to those who would wish to know more about the rock climbing opportunities in the Inverness area - especially as described so eloquently from the experiences of youth. But it also gives a moving insight into what six boys could together achieve, as they grew from the ages of thirteen to sixteen.
It has been worth putting the original book into context, and from this to show not only what a special group of boys these were all those years ago, but to give credit where it is undoubtedly due. Yes, there is sorrow in it, due to the tragedy of the War that ensued, but what shines through is a remarkable story nonetheless.
Jane, the daughter of the the author, rounds off the republished book to perfection, in a moving account of how her father`s passion for the Scottish mountains and landscapes, shaped her own life, talents and interests.
