The Charleston Ballet
Author: Ann Hutchinson Guest
Publisher: Noverre Press
ISBN: 9781906830861
Category : Charleston ballet (Choreographic work : Robbins)
Languages : en
Pages : 106
Book Description
A Labanotation score. In capturing the spirit of the 'Roaring Twenties' Jerome Robbins' Charleston Ballet is a gem. It came to life in the 1945 Broadway show Billion Dollar Baby, providing a highlight despite being only seven minutes long. Robbins depicted the various characters of the time, the gangsters, bootleggers, a policeman (who was always looking the other way) and various other characters who entered - and also exited - the Speakeasy. For each of these people Robbins selected appropriate Charleston steps of the period to illustrate their particular personality. Three young Flappers had great fun whooping it up; the Rich Couple exuded elegance and disdain as they swept into the Speakeasy; the doddery Old Couple, dancing the familiar steps with caution; the over exuberant Collegiate Couple wildly sharing a flask of booze; two Younger Generation, he with banjo, joyfully beating time to the music; two Gangsters furtively casing the joint before the Bootleggers bring in the boxes of likker. The poor Timid Girl (who lives alone in an attic), meets up with Good Time Charlie who soon drags her into the Speakeasy. Before long, wildly drunk, the Timid Girl comes bursting out the Speakeasy and introduces exaggerated Charleston steps which leads into the group finale.

Letters on Dancing and Ballets
Author: Jean Georges Noverre
Publisher: David Leonard
ISBN: 9781852731007
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
The dancer and choreographer Jean-Georges Noverre's Letters On Dancing and Ballets were first published in Stuttgart in 1760, and set forth his ideas for the reform of ballet, ideas which were considered revolutionary in their day and indeed anticipated changes to be carried out more than a century later by Laban, Fokine, and Jooss. At a time when court ballet had degenerated into a meaningless succession of conventional dances, Noverre advocated a unity of design and a logical progression from introduction to climax in which the whole was not sacrificed to the part and anything unnecessary to the theme was eliminated. Movement was to be defined by the tone and time of the music, and choreographers were advised to avoid over-complicated steps and turn to nature for natural means of expression which could be understood by all. He advocated also the reform of costume, and lived to see masks, full-bottomed wigs and cumbersome dresses abandoned in favor of attire better suited to the roles portrayed. Noverre's Letters can be said without exaggeration to be one of the most important dance books ever published, and through its influence Noverre can be seen as the grandfather of ballet as we know it.
