The Revival of Banned Dances
Author: Reneé Critcher Lyons
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 0786465948
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 229
Book Description
Throughout history, humans have used dance as a benefit for mind, body, and soul. In some cases, governments or churches have banned certain dances for a variety of reasons. This work provides an exploration of dances banned around the world, then revived by a handful of brave proponents. The sixteen case studies--ranging from Argentina's Tango and Cambodia's Royal Classical Ballet to Brazil's Samba and Ireland's Step Dance--reveal the meaning of the dance to each culture and the importance of the art form to the creation of healthy sociological and political climates. Chapters detail each dance's origins, technical steps and movements, costumes, music, and political history, providing an informative overview of the oppression of dance culture through history. Instructors considering this book for use in a course may request an examination copy here.

The Door to Victory
Author: Cassandra Morphy
Publisher: Crowbarland Books
ISBN: 0463950658
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 392
Book Description
Maya San Lucas had been lost in her dreamworld for the better part of five years. Desparia was just a fantasy world for her to explore during stretches of boredom at school and at home. Going to that world let her have adventures, exploring secret locations, and searching through towns and cities for loot to come away with. The life of a thief was so much more exciting than high school, especially with no friends to speak of. With the emperor coming to Earth, and the group stuck in The Citadel, things weren't looking good for Maya and her friends. Or Earth, for that matter. But there were plenty of people out there that know the secret of their mission. The secrets of their world. And as the group struggles to find their way home, help comes from some rather unexpected places. Drake was just an ordinary trooper, following the orders sent to him from the emperor. Part of a larger team that was wandering the empire, settling the more wild parts of it. But when he returned as one of only two remaining members of their team, he was given a new assignment. A new, special, assignment. One that changed the lives of many people, setting them all on course towards destruction.

Déodat de Séverac
Author: Robert Francis Waters
Publisher: Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.
ISBN: 9780754641056
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 300
Book Description
Best known for his piano music, Déodat de Séverac (1872-1921) also composed orchestral and vocal works, including opera, cantata and incidental music. His early works were influenced by Impressionist harmonies, church modes, cyclic techniques, folk-like melodies and Andalusian motives, though his style changed dramatically in 1907 when he began to include Catalan elements in his compositions. In this book, Robert Waters provides a much-needed study of the life and works of Séverac, focusing on the composer's regionalist philosophy. Séverac's engagement with folk music was not a patriotic gesture in the vein of nationalistic composers, but a way of expressing regional identity within France to counter the restrictive styles sanctioned by the Paris Conservatory. The book will appeal to those specializing in French music, European ethnic musics, piano music and French music history.
