Book Description
Can you change your fate—and the fate of those you love—if you return to the past? Journey to 1939 Harlem in this time-travel adventure with an inspiring message about believing in yourself. Eleven-year-old Ailey Benjamin Lane can dance—so he’s certain that he'll land the role of the Scarecrow in his school’s production of The Wiz. Unfortunately, a talented classmate and a serious attack of nerves derail his audition: he just stands there, frozen. Deflated and defeated, Ailey confides in his Grampa that he’s ready to quit. But Grampa believes in Ailey, and, to encourage him, shares a childhood story. As a boy, Grampa dreamed of becoming a tap dancer; he was so good that the Hollywood star and unofficial Mayor of Harlem, Bill "Bojangles" Robinson, even gave him a special pair of tap shoes. Curious, Ailey finds the shoes, tries them on, taps his toes, and makes a wish. In the blink of an eye, he finds himself somewhere that if most definitely no place like home! Featuring an all-African-American cast of characters, and infused with references to black culture and history, this work of magical realism is sure to captivate and inspire readers.

Book Description
There's plenty of fast banter, funny patter and ridiculous rhyme to enjoy in this traditional panto script by Channel 4 comedy writer Brian Luff. It's a script packed with great new comedy routines. Hapless palace guards Kosh & Bosh have numerous opportunities to show off their comic chemistry, including a messy gym scene, a "Standing Very Still" sketch and a pacy routine about a bunch of "Spies Behind the Pork Pies". Meanwhile, Dame Plump & her farmhand Charlie perform an hilarious sketch called "Counting Potatoes", which may turn out to be a bit of a panto classic. Charlie also hooks up with handsome hero Jack for a very funny "Eye Test" routine. Jack and the Magical Beanstalk is traditional family pantomime at its very best.

Book Description
Ungoverning Dance examines recent contemporary dance in continental Europe. Placing this in the context of neoliberalism and austerity, it argues that dancers are developing an ethico-aesthetic approach that uses dance practices as sites of resistance against dominant ideologies. It attests to the persistence of alternative ways of thinking and living.
