| baryshnikov carmen: Discovering the World Leonid Shagalov, 2023-08-30 This book is extraordinary. It introduces the reader to the behind-the-scenes world of the ballet dancers of the famous Beryozka Dance Ensemble. He tells about the difficult preparation of that lyrically beautiful, and sometimes enchanting dance festival, which is seen by spectators who come to the concert of the ensemble in any country. Moreover, this book talks about the unusual situations that the artists of the Ensemble found themselves in when traveling across different countries and continents. And there were many such situations, because the Beryozka Ensemble performed in more than 60 countries around the world. The author of the book, a dancer himself, a dance teacher and a participant in the events described in the book, seeks to bring the impressions of foreign trips and convey the unique atmosphere of each country, consciously or unconsciously drawing comparisons with his native country. The book is based on real, non-fictional events and undoubtedly has cognitive and educational value for the inquisitive reader. The book is richly illustrated with photographs by the author. |

| baryshnikov carmen: Un angelo sulle punte Eleonora Abbagnato, 2013-08-05 Si spengono le luci. È il momento di andare in scena. Sì, questo è il mio mondo. E quando l’ho capito è stato per sempre. Eleonora Abbagnato sembra un angelo e nasconde su di sé un angelo: il tatuaggio che si è fatta a suggello di una grande storia d’amore. Un angelo la saluta tutte le mattine dalla cupola del Sacré-Coeur, a Parigi; una collezione di angioletti affolla il suo salotto; angeli d’oro la osservano dal soffitto mentre si allena prima di andare in scena all’Opéra, dove è prima ballerina: l’ultima tappa di un percorso in punta di piedi cominciato quando ancora piccolissima, a Palermo, frequenta la scuola di ballo sopra il negozio di sua madre. La piccola sala col parquet scricchiolante ha quell’odore di pece, l’odore inconfondibile che ritroverà nei grandi teatri del mondo. Ostinata, ribelle, decisa, Eleonora brucia le tappe e vince concorsi. A dodici anni il grande salto, la scuola di Montecarlo; il primo spettacolo importante, la Bella Addormentata di Roland Petit; poi la scuola di Cannes e, finalmente, Parigi. All’inizio all’Opéra è durissima: le ragazzine francesi sono tutte bellissime e bravissime. Ma ancora una volta la sua determinazione vince, riesce a zittire anche la nostalgia di casa. Eleonora cresce, affronta esami, entra nel corpo di ballo del teatro, lavora con grandi coreografi, diventa prima ballerina. L’angelo è arrivato in vetta, la danseuse nota in tutto il mondo conosce altri artisti come Claudio Baglioni ed Eros Ramazzotti, entra nel mondo della moda e dello spettacolo, si innamora. Spontanea, ironica, intensa, in queste pagine Eleonora Abbagnato ci racconta la sua vita di ieri e di oggi, un percorso straordinario, costruito con passione e perseveranza, che l’ha portata proprio dove voleva essere. |

| baryshnikov carmen: Floyd Patterson Alan H. Levy, 2008-09-22 Floyd Patterson delivered a number of knockout punches during his Hall of Fame career, but it might have been the fights he won outside the ring that made him great. Born in 1935, he overcame poverty and prejudice to become the youngest world heavyweight champion in history--and he would later become the first man to regain the crown after losing it. Muhammad Ali called Patterson the most skillful fighter he ever faced. This first complete biography of the former heavyweight champion covers Patterson's meteoric rise as a boxer while giving equal attention to his life away from sport, including his work as a civil rights activist in the 1960s. Joining Ali and Joe Frazier as boxers who used their celebrity to bring attention to social issues, he became an icon of the movement. |

| baryshnikov carmen: Avid Reader Robert Gottlieb, 2016-09-13 Winner of the Anne M. Sperber Prize A spirited and revealing memoir by the most celebrated editor of his time. After editing The Columbia Review, staging plays at Cambridge, and a stint in the greeting-card department of Macy's, Robert Gottlieb stumbled into a job at Simon and Schuster. By the time he left to run Alfred A. Knopf a dozen years later, he was the editor in chief, having discovered and edited Catch-22 and The American Way of Death, among other bestsellers. At Knopf, Gottlieb edited an astonishing list of authors, including Toni Morrison, John Cheever, Doris Lessing, John le Carré, Michael Crichton, Lauren Bacall, Katharine Graham, Robert Caro, Nora Ephron, and Bill Clinton--not to mention Bruno Bettelheim and Miss Piggy. In Avid Reader, Gottlieb writes with wit and candor about succeeding William Shawn as the editor of The New Yorker, and the challenges and satisfactions of running America's preeminent magazine. Sixty years after joining Simon and Schuster, Gottlieb is still at it--editing, anthologizing, and, to his surprise, writing. But this account of a life founded upon reading is about more than the arc of a singular career--one that also includes a lifelong involvement with the world of dance. It's about transcendent friendships and collaborations, elective affinities and family, psychoanalysis and Bakelite purses, the alchemical relationship between writer and editor, the glory days of publishing, and--always--the sheer exhilaration of work.

| baryshnikov carmen: Nureyev Julie Kavanagh, 2011-10-12 Rudolf Nureyev had it all: beauty, genius, charm, passion, and sex appeal. No other dancer of our time has generated the same excitement, for both men and women, on or off the stage. With Nureyev: The Life, Julie Kavanagh shows how his intense drive and passion for dance propelled him from a poor, Tatar-peasant background to the most sophisticated circles of London, Paris, and New York. His dramatic defection to the West in l961 created a Cold War crisis and made him an instant celebrity, but this was just the beginning. Nureyev spent the rest of his life breaking barriers: reinventing male technique, “crashing the gates” of modern dance, iconoclastically updating the most hallowed classics, and making dance history by partnering England’ s prima ballerina assoluta, Margot Fonteyn--a woman twice his age. He danced for almost all the major choreographers--Frederick Ashton, George Balanchine, Kenneth MacMillan, Jerome Robbins, Maurice Béjart, Roland Petit--his main motive, he claimed, for having left the Kirov. But Nureyev also made it his mission to stage Russia’s full-length masterpieces in the West. His highly personal productions of Swan Lake, The Nutcracker, Raymonda, Romeo and Juliet, and La Bayadère are the mainstays of the Paris Opéra Ballet repertory to this day. An inspirational director and teacher, Nureyev was a Diaghilev-like mentor to young protégés across the globe--from Karen Kain and Monica Mason (now directors themselves), to Sylvie Guillem, Elisabeth Platel, Laurent Hilaire and Kenneth Greve. Sex, as much as dance, was a driving force for Nureyev. From his first secret liaison in Russia to his tempestuous relationship with the great Danish dancer Erik Bruhn, we see not only Nureyev’s notorious homosexual history unfold, but also learn of his profound effect on women--whether a Sixties wild child or Jackie Kennedy and Lee Radziwill or the aging Marlene Dietrich. Among the first victims of AIDS, Nureyev was diagnosed HIV positive in 1984 but defied the disease for nearly a decade, dancing, directing the Paris Opéra Ballet, choreographing, and even beginning a new career as a conductor. Still making plans for the future, Nureyev finally succumbed and died in January l993. Drawing on previously undisclosed letters, diaries, home-movie footage, interviews with Nureyev’s inner circle, and her own dance background, Julie Kavanagh gives the most intimate, revealing, and dramatic picture we have ever had of this dazzling, complex figure. NOTE: This edition does not include photos. |

| baryshnikov carmen: Reading Dance Robert Gottlieb, 2008-11-04 Robert Gottlieb’s immense sampling of the dance literature–by far the largest such project ever attempted–is both inclusive, to the extent that inclusivity is possible when dealing with so vast a field, and personal: the result of decades of reading. It limits itself of material within the experience of today’s general readers, avoiding, for instance, academic historical writing and treatises on technique, its earliest subjects are those nineteenth-century works and choreographers that still resonate with dance lovers today: Giselle, The Sleeping Beauty, Swan Lake; Bournonville and Petipa. And, as Gottlieb writes in his introduction, “The twentieth century focuses to a large extent on the achievements and personalities that dominated it–from Pavlova and Nijinsky and Diaghilev to Isadora Duncan and Martha Graham, from Ashton and Balanchine and Robbins to Merce Cunningham and Paul Taylor and Twyla Tharp, from Fonteyn and Farrell and Gelsey Kirkland (“the Judy Garland of Ballet”) to Nureyev and Baryshnikov and Astaire–as well as the critical and reportorial voices, past and present, that carry the most conviction.” In structuring his anthology, Gottlieb explains, he has “tried to help the reader along by arranging its two hundred-plus entries into a coherent groups.” Apart from the sections on major personalities and important critics, there are sections devoted to interviews (Tamara Toumanova, Antoinette Sibley, Mark Morris); profiles (Lincoln Kirstein, Bob Fosse, Olga Spessivtseva); teachers; accounts of the birth of important works from Petrouchka to Apollo to Push Comes to Shove; and the movies (from Arlene Croce and Alastair Macauley on Fred Astaire to director Michael Powell on the making of The Red Shoes). Here are the voices of Cecil Beaton and Irene Castle, Ninette de Valois and Bronislava Nijinska, Maya Plisetskaya and Allegra Kent, Serge Lifar and José Limón, Alicia Markova and Natalia Makarova, Ruth St. Denis and Michel Fokine, Susan Sontag and Jean Renoir. Plus a group of obscure, even eccentric extras, including an account of Pavlova going shopping in London and recipes from Tanaquil LeClerq’s cookbook.” With its huge range of content accompanied by the anthologist’s incisive running commentary, Reading Dance will be a source of pleasure and instruction for anyone who loves dance. |

| baryshnikov carmen: Where the Stress Falls Susan Sontag, 2002-11-09 Susan Sontag has said that her earliest idea of what a writer should be was someone who is interested in everything. Thirty-five years after her first collection of essays, the now classic Against Interpretation, our most important essayist has chosen more than forty longer and shorter pieces from the last two decades that illustrate a deeply felt, kaleidoscopic array of interests, passions, observations, and ideas. Reading offers ardent, freewheeling considerations of talismanic writers from her own private canon, such as Marina Tsvetaeva, Randall Jarrell, Roland Barthes, Machado de Assis, W. G. Sebald, Borges, and Elizabeth Hardwick. Seeing is a series of luminous and incisive encounters with film, dance, photography, painting, opera, and theatre. And in the final section, There and Here, Sontag explores some of her own commitments: to the work (and activism) of conscience, to the concreteness of historical understanding, and to the vocation of the writer. Where the Stress Falls records a great American writer's urgent engagement with some of the most significant aesthetic and moral issues of the late twentieth century, and provides a brilliant and clear-eyed appraisal of what is at stake, in this new century, in the survival of that inheritance. |
| baryshnikov carmen: Ageing, Gender, Embodiment and Dance E. Schwaiger, 2011-11-08 This book explores the nexus between gender, ageing and culture in dancers practicing a variety of genres. It challenges existing cultural norms which equate ageing with bodily decline and draws on an interdisciplinary theoretical framework to explore alternatives for developing a culturally valued mature subjectivity through the practice of dance. |
| baryshnikov carmen: The Obits: New York Times Annual 2012 William McDonald, 2011-11-11 The obits. It’s the first section many of us turn to when we open the paper, not to see who died, but rather to find out about who lived to discover the interesting lives of people who’ve made a mark. A new annual that collects nearly 300 of the best of The New York Times obituaries from the previous year, The Obits Annual 2012 is a compelling, addictive-as-salted-peanuts “who’s who” of some of the most fascinating people of the twentieth century. Written by top journalists each entry is a jewel, a miniature, nuanced biography filled with the facts we love to read, with the surprise and serendipity of life. There’s David L. Wolper, the producer of Roots—and the story of how he got his start purchasing film footage from Sputnik. The jazz singer, Abbey Lincoln, and her change from glamorous performer—she owned a dress of Marilyn Monroe’s—to civil rights activist (she burned the Monroe dress). Owsley Stanley, the quirky perfecter of LSD, who blamed a heart attack on the fact that his mother made him eat broccoli as a child. Patricia Neal—known by most as a movie star, but her real life, filled with tragedy, adversity, and incredible professional ups and downs, is almost a surreal play of triumph and tragedy. Arranged chronologically, like the obits themselves, it’s a deliciously random walk through the recent past, meeting the philosophers, newsmen, spies, publishers, moguls, soul singers, baseball managers, Nobel Prize winners, models, and others who’ve shaped the world. |
