Following the film's themes of transparency, sexuality, shame and love, Schorr has directed a piece consisting of videotaped dances in which she includes herself as a character alongside her fellow dancers.\u003cbr\u003eAt once intimate and risky, questioning aspects of age, gender and racial norms historically underrepresented in ballet, Schorr tells a story about power, desire and compulsion. In \u003ci\u003eWriting a Letter, Akerman Ballet, Act 1\u003c\/i\u003e, Schorr has pulled a large collection of film stills from the first act of this ballet. Published as a standalone document of one artist vigorously in conversation with another's work, it is also an example of the way queer histories can be shared and cared for through adoration, adaptation and repetition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Collier Schorr\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798993181127\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Song Cave\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/11\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Collier Schorr","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48801393246463,"sku":"9798993181127","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/collier-schorr-collier-schorr-9798993181127","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
