Softcover. Condición: Good. F First Paperback Edition Used. In-depth interviews with the maverick British choreographer best known for his revolutionary, tony award-winning Swan LakeIn the ten years since Matthew Bourne started his dance company, Adventures in Motion Pictures, he has earned a reputation as one of the most exciting choreographers at work today. His experimental style can be seen in his original dances-such as Town and Country, a work that includes a pas de deux that Bourne describes as "a Fred and Ginger number for two men"-and in his new versions of ballet classics, including his groundbreaking Swan Lake, with its cast of male swans, and The Nutcracker, set in a Dickensian orphanage. Drawing on his years of studying all varieties of dance as well as on his vast knowledge of dance history, theater, and popular culture, Bourne has been able to fuse elements of classical and modern dance, theatrical innovation, and sexual expression in a new way, reflecting a uniquely ironic, postmodern sensibility in his playing with the elements of classical dance and reexamining the traditional relationships between-and within-the sexes.In these interviews with the distinguished dance and theater critic Alastair Macaulay, Bourne demonstrates persuasively just how he has synthesized these disparate elements to create an experience that audiences around the world have found mesmerizing and startling in its beauty and originality.

Softcover. Condición: Good. Main. For well over thirty years, Tom Stoppard has consistently held his position as one of England's most admired dramatists. And for this edition of Faber Critical Guides, Jim Hunter examines four of Stoppard's finest works in the context of his entire oeuvre. Hunter writes, "Stoppard's plays present a unique interplay between fun today and the most basic and serious challenges to human understanding. He writes jokes and comic routines; but at the same time he is also writing about moral responsibility, about goodness, and about our scientific, mathematical, or philosophical understanding of reality.

Hardcover. Condición: Good. First Edition. "Exile itself can be a country to explore," wrote the exiled South African essayist Breyten Breytenbach. More than forty writers prove his point in Altogether Elsewhere, an anthology of diverse reflections by notable literary exiles. Classic and contemporary writers from Europe, the United States, Latin America, Africa, and the Caribbean deepen our understanding of exile, meditating on the tension between lost and found languages, between fortifying memory and debilitating nostalgia, between the joys of freedom and the sense of entrapment within that freedom. Contributors include Mary Antin, Austin Clarke, Janet Frame, Czeslaw Milosz, Es'kia Mphahlele, Petrarch, Darryl Pinckney, and Marina Tsvetaeva, among others.Taken together, these essays, letters, journals, and memoirs of writers displaced by either choice or circumstance present a rich, ever expanding portrait of exile literature, one that includes the resilience of the political exile, the adventurousness of the voluntary expatriate, the ingenious adaptability of the emigre, and the perpetual dissatisfaction of the nomad. Altogether Elsewhere acknowledges the fear and wariness of expatriates as well as the sardonic side of displacement once suggested by Joseph Brodsky, who has termed the exile's life a "tragicomedy" where "the democracy into which he has arrived provides him with physical safety but renders him socially insignificant." Yet this anthology also embodies Gertrude Stein's reassuring reminder that "writers have to have two countries, the one where they belong and the one in which they live really."

Softcover. Condición: Good. Winner of the Academy Award as the best Original Screenplay of 1996.Set in the midst of the bleak midwinter snow drifts of the American Midwest, Fargo is a story of murder and mayhem.Stylistically, Fargo-in its observation of a specific Minnesota community-is at the opposite end of the spectrum from the post-modernism of The Hudsucker Proxy and the baroque hallucinations of Barton Fink. Fargo exposes the dark side of existence, but the grimness of the tale is alleviated by the laconic humor with which the characters greet their fates. The plot is executed with brilliance, and yet the writing also reveals a humanity at its core.

Softcover. Condición: used. 1. A volume of interviews with the director Peter Brook that explores his work and the innovations that helped forge a new kind of theaterPeter Brook is one of the giants of twentieth-century theater, having started as a stage director at the age of twenty before being named the primary director at the Covent Garden opera house and, eventually, becoming the unique creative genius who virtually reinvented the way actors and directors think about theater, through his groundbreaking productions of King Lear, Marat/Sade, A Midsummer Nights Dream, and, especially, The Mahabharata. Since the creation in the 1970s of his International Center for Theater Research in Paris, he has sought to focus on teaching and researching as well as directing-always looking for new ways to illuminate the truth of a text so that actors and audiences alike are challenged to question both the performance of the piece and the larger truth surrounding it.Margaret Croyden has followed Peter Brooks career from 1970 up to the present. As a result, her perspective on the evolution of his work is unparalleled, and she brings to the interview process the acuity of a critic and the knowledgeability of a devoted observer. As she says in her introduction, The most important aspect of Brooks character and his artistry is that he is a searcher . . . a questioner, a teacher. In this book, Brook-with Croydens able assistance-shares some of his most insightful thoughts and deepest feelings about the theater and the world.Margaret Croyden has written for The New York Times, among other publications, and is the author of In the Shadow of the Flame: Three Journeys and Lunatics, Lovers, and Poets: The Contemporary Experimental Theater. She lives in New York City.Peter Brook is one of the giants of twentieth-century theater, a uniquely creative genius who, through his groundbreaking productions of King Lear, Marat/Sade, A Midsummer Night's Dream, and especially The Mahabharata, has virtually reinvented the way actors and directors think about theater. Margaret Croyden has followed Peter Brook's career from 1970 to the present, gaining unparalleled perspective on the evolution of his work. Throughout the interviews in this book, she uses that knowledge to elicit from Peter Brook some of his insightful thoughts and deepest feelings about theater and the world."Here is the fascinating and provocatively stimulating distillation of three decades of intense, but sometimes gossipy, conversations between one of the 20th century's few true theater innovators and America's leading writer on the theatrical avant-garde. A splendid book. A great read. I loved it."-Clive Barnes"A success . . . Challenging and fearless in her questions, Croyden also conveys such vivid vignettes of the plays and their often beautiful or striking settings that a pang is evoked for every missed chance to say 'I was there' . . . Croyden's ability to put questions in a fitting way allows Brook to share with her some astonishingly authentic impressions and observations . . . The conversations between Croyden and Brook . . . stand as proof that Croyden was talking to an artist who 'is interested in something more than his art,' an artist whose aim, among others, is to 'reach the point in a common service where everything is charged and a rewarding experience begins to shape.'"-Parabola"Again and again in this fascinating collection of interviews with Brook about his extraordinary body of work Croyden shows how the craft of journalism can rise to the level of art itself by challenging an artist to reveal himself . . . Croyden tracks Brook through his spiritual and geographic travels, asking challenging questions and refusing to back down until the answer Brook gives has the ring of personal truth. The resulting work will illuminate and enthrall anyone who loves the theater-and everyone interested in what it can mean to live fearlessly and creatively, to make one's life a search."-Kirkus Reviews"Here 750.

Many of the protagonists of the Ballets Russes were still alive, and Drummond interviewed more than twenty of them, including Karsavina, Massine, Ninette de Valois and Marie Rambert.

Softcover. Condición: used. First Edition. After his critically acclaimed departure to period drama with Topsy-Turvy, Mike Leigh returns to the more intimate explorations of working-class life that marked his early career with All or Nothing. Set in a London housing project over one long weekend, Leighs masterful and moving new film tells the story of Penny and Phil-a long-estranged couple brought together again after their son becomes suddenly and violently ill. An unflinching look at the often harsh realities of Londons down-and-out, All or Nothing is also Mike Leighs most nuanced and heartfelt film to date. 1850.
