"Modern Dancing and Dancers" by J. E. Crawford Flitch explores the historical and cultural significance of dance, particularly focusing on the evolution of ballet from its aristocratic origins to its modern form. The text delves into the Renaissance period, highlighting how ballet emerged as a courtly entertainment in Italy and later flourished in France under the patronage of monarchs like Louis XIV. The ballet's shift from court to stage marked a significant development, with changes in costume and technique transforming it into a complex art form. The narrative emphasizes the contributions of key figures such as Marie Taglioni, whose ethereal style and technical prowess set new standards for ballet, influencing its direction and popularity in the 19th century. Taglioni's metamorphoses, characterized by their spiritual grace and technical refinement, captivated audiences and established ballet as a serious art form. The text also addresses the challenges faced by dancers, including the rigorous training required and the fleeting nature of their art. Flitch argues for the recognition of dance as a serious art form, capable of expressing profound emotions and contributing to cultural and artistic discourse. The book serves as both a historical account and a call to appreciate the artistic depth and cultural shifts of dance, particularly ballet, in shaping modern artistic expressions.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -First published in 1912, Crawford Flitch's seminal book takes as its text the transition in the theatre, in the late nineteenth century, from dance to spectacle, as producers responded to, and perhaps helped to shape, public taste, and the consequent decline of classical ballet. Flitch is sharply critical of this decline, but sees a light on the horizon in the shape of the arrival of Serge Diaghilev's Ballets Russes, whose dancers and early performances he discusses in some detail. The chapters are: The ancient and modern attitude towards the dance, The rise of the ballet, The heyday of the ballet, The Skirt dance, The Serpentine Dance, The high kickers, The revival of classical dancing, The Imperial Russian Ballet, The repertory of the Russian Ballet, The Russian dancers, The English Ballet, Oriental and Spanish dancing, The revival of the Morris Dance, and The future of the dance.Extrait : ' It is not unlikely that when the art historian of the future comes to treat of the artistic activity of the first decade of the twentieth century, he will remark as one of its most notable accomplishments a renaissance of the art of the Dance. That this renaissance is an accomplished fact, is a matter of com- mon knowledge. Within a relatively short period there have appeared several great dancers, who must necessarily have been preparing them- selves for a considerable time previously to their appearance, yet as it were in secret, without cognisance of one another, with a common aim, but without a common plan. Contemporaries in time, they have been as far removed in space as the East is from the West. In all movements which touch the spirit, this circumstance of the simultaneous but independent manifestation of a common impulse is at once the most general and the most unaccountable. The still small voice whispers into space and those of a delicate hearing hear and respond. We content ourselves by repeating the explanation, which is no explanation, that the movement is ¿in the air.¿ 294 pp. Englisch. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9791041917969
