Chapters: Bollhuset, Old Swinford Hospital, Kingston, New York, Val-De-Grâce, Clarendon House, Lejonkulan, San Gennaro Dei Poveri. Excerpt: Bollhuset , also called by the names Stora Bollhuset , Bollhusteatern , and Lejonkulan over the centuries, was the name of the first theater of Stockholm , Sweden; it was the first Swedish theater and the first real theater building in Scandinavia . The name “Bollhuset” means “The Ball House”, and it was originally built in 1627 for ball sports and used in this way for forty years. The name Lejonkulan , however, was in fact the name for a different building, which were also used by the same theater in the 17th century.The building of Bollhuset represents a long row of the most important events of the history of theatre in the city and country. Between 1667 and 1792 it was used as a theater until it was torn down in 1793; between 1737 and 1754, the first national theatre was located here, in 1773-1782 the Royal Swedish Opera (and thereby the Royal Swedish Ballet ) was located here, in 1783-1792 the French theatre of Stockholm was housed here, in 1787 the second national theater was re-founded in the building, and from 1788 it was the home of the Royal Dramatic Theatre .History The building was located on Slottsbacken near the Royal palace Tre Kronor . It was described as a large, but simple rectangular building of white bricks with a hip roof . During the 17th century, foreign travelling theater companies often visited Stockholm, especially from Germany and the Netherlands, but they performed in temporary locals; the German theater troop of Christian Theun l. Thum (or Thaumb) performed in the city from 1628 to 1655, but it is not known if they ever performed in Bollhuset. An English troupe, the troupe of Joris Jollifoot, played in the city |

Excerpt: Jewels is a ballet in three parts, choreographed by New York City Ballet co-founder and balletmaster George Balanchine in 1967. It premièred on Thursday, April 13, of the same year at the New York State Theater. The première included sets designed by Peter Harvey and lighting by Ronald Bates. Jewels has been called the first full-length abstract ballet. It can also be seen as three separate ballets, linked by their jewel-colored costumes. Balanchine commented: “The ballet had nothing to do with jewels. The dancers are just dressed like jewels.” In any case, each of the three acts features the music of a different composer : Emeralds is set to the music of Gabriel Fauré, Rubies to the music of Igor Stravinsky and Diamonds to music by Pyotr Ilyich Tschaikovsky. The costumes were created by Balanchine’s long-time collaborator Barbara Karinska who created a distinct look for each different act: romantic, calf-length tulle skirts for Emeralds, fabric that flared at the hips of both men and women |

A Queer History Of Ballet $35.95 A Queer History of the Ballet is the first book-length study of ballet’s queerness. It theorizes the queer potential of the ballet look, and provides historical analyses of queer artists and spectatorships. It demonstrates that ballet was a crucial means of coming to visibility, of evolving and articulating a queer consciousness in periods when it was dangerous and illegal to be homosexual. It also shows that ballet continues to be a key element of the dance cultures through which queerness is explored. The book moves from the 19th century through the post-modern era, bringing together an important array of creative figures and movements, including Romantic ballet; Tchaikovsky; Diaghilev; Genet; Fonteyn; New York City Ballet; Neumeier; Bourne; Bausch; and Morris. It discusses the making and performance history of key works, including La Sylphide, Giselle, Sleeping Beauty, and Swan Lake. A Queer History of the Ballet will be especially useful to students and scholars involved in the growing number of courses on queer culture, theatre studies, dance history, gender studies, and cross-disciplinary approaches to literature. It is written in a lively, clear style that will make it accessible to the non-academic reader who has an interest in queer and/or dance history. |

American Indian Ballerinas $26.95 This is the first authorized biography of four twentieth-century American Indian ballerinas: Maria Tallchief, Rosella Hightower, Marjorie Tallchief, and Yvonne Chouteau.

At Carnegie Hall, Vol. 1-4 (Chicago IV) [Bonus Tracks] $44.98 After issuing three consecutive studio double LPs, Chicago topped themselves with this four-album live box set. As the title suggests, At Carnegie Hall, Vols. 1-4 (Chicago IV) (1971) finds the band at the venerable New York City venue during a five-night stand (April 5-April 10) in the spring of 1971. The septet — which includes the respective talents of Terry Kath (lead guitar/vocals), Robert Lamm (keyboards/vocals), Peter Cetera (bass/vocals), Danny Seraphine (drums), Lee Loughnane (trumpet/vocals), James Pankow (trombone), and Walter Parazaider (woodwinds/vocals) — were at their unquestionable peak of initial popularity. Their previous three double LPs continued extended runs on the pop album chart and likewise spawned a number of hit singles. So by the time the group hit the Big Apple for these shows, they were among the hottest things happening. Chicago’s set list is wholly representative of the material from Chicago Transit Authority (1969), Chicago II (1970), and Chicago III (1971) and includes several extended multi-song medleys from each. The band winds its way through muscular versions of the epic “Ballet for a Girl in Buchannon,” “Travel Suite,” as well as lengthy renderings of deeper cuts such as “South California Purples,” “Fancy Colours,” and the ten-minute-plus opening “In the Country.” One of the set’s most notable highlights is the politically charged “For Richard and His Friends.” The lengthy and well-jammed-out cut is both groovy and propulsive. However, the acoustics at Carnegie Hall are quite frankly not (and really never have been) properly suited for heavily amplified music. While the percussion and electric guitars are clearly audible, the woodwind and brass section come off sounding extremely thin and devoid of any real timbre. This is unfortunate, as a primary component of the band is the contrasting textures between the two. Enthusiasts seeking a much more sonically accurate portrait should by whatever means necessary loca… |

Balanchine Variations $24.95 The literature on Balanchine is vast, but it is primarily biographical. Balanchine Variations is the first book to concentrate on the ballets themselves, providing critical analysis and detailed descriptions of what the dancers actually do. Beginning with Apollo (1928), Balanchine’s first extant work, and ending with one of his last ballets, Ballo della Regina (1978), Nancy Goldner offers detailed insights into more than twenty individual ballets. Based on lectures given across the United States, under the auspices of the Balanchine Foundation, they are intended to illuminate his art. Goldner discusses the history of each ballet, places each in the context of Balanchine’s life and sensibility. She also addresses his taste in music and whether his style can be considered particularly American. The ballets Balanchine choreographed for the New York City Ballet are danced by companies around the world, and this innovative book is sure to become an indispensable guide to dancers and spectators alike. |

Bernar Venet Performances, etc. 1961-2006 $75 If it is not surprising how many mediums Bernar Venet has worked in, from sculpture to painting to photography to sound to furniture, it is surprising how many he has used in performance. From the first moments of “Performance dans les detritus” in 1961 through sound compositions corresponding to and implicating his visual work, to a ballet for which he wrote the music, created the choreography and designed both the set and costumes, Venet has been omnivorous, recording mathematical poems on vinyl, the engines of the Concorde on CD and finally the sounds of the creation of his own sculpture. In 2004, Venet had three simultaneous solo shows in New York City, two at the Robert Miller and Jim Kempner galleries and a third along the Park Avenue Mall, where his large-scale Indeterminate Line pieces were installed. In 2005 he was named Chevalier de la Legion d’Honneur, France’s highest decoration. |

Teaching and keeping them is one of the foremost challenges of dance education.

This video will give you the basic tools to plan a curriculum that features creative movement as the initial course of study for beginning dancers.

For twenty-six years she ran a studio in Roxboro, North Carolina where dance classes for children and adults were crafted to instill an appreciation for the arts, self-discipline and respect. Classes included children with special needs, and these children became her mentors. Since 1989 Ms. Noblett has been on the staff of Jacques d’Amboise’s National Dance Institute in New York City. In 1998 she conceived and locally produced a project featured on CBS’s Sunday Morning with Bill Geist. She has taught children’s tap at BDC, and presently teaches for Rosie O’Donnell’ Rosie’s Broadway Kids.

Excerpt: Henry Dreyfuss Brant (September 15, 1913 April 26, 2008) was a Canadian-born American composer. An expert orchestrator with a flair for experimentation, many of Brant’s works featured spatialization techniques. Brant was born in Montreal, Quebec, Canada of American parents in 1913, Henry Brant began composing at the age of eight, and studied first at the McGill Conservatorium (1926-29) and then in New York City (1929-34). The son of a professional violinist, Brant played violin, flute, tin whistle, piano, organ, and percussion at a professional level and was fluent with the playing techniques for all of the standard orchestral instruments. As a teenager, he was the youngest composer included in Henry Cowell’s landmark book American Composers on American Music, demonstrating an early identification with the American experimental musical tradition. Brant was represented in Cowell’s anthology by an essay on oblique harmony, an idea which presaged some techniques used in his mature spatial works. He composed, orchestrated, and conducted for radio, film, ballet, and jazz groups. The stylistic diversity of these professional experiences would also eventually contribute to stylistic polyphony of his mature works. Starting in the late 40s, he taught at Columbia University, the Juilliard School and, for 24 years, Bennington College. In the mid 1950s Brant felt that single-style musiccould no longer evoke the new stresses, layered insanities, and multi-directional assaults of contemporary life on the spirit. In pursuit of an optimal framework for the presentation of a music which embraced such a simultaneity of musical textures and styles, Brant made a series of experiments and compositions exploring the potential for the physical position of sounds in… More: |
