{"product_id":"the-ballets-russes-and-beyond-davinia-caddy-9781107014404","title":"The Ballets Russes and Beyond: Music and Dance in Belle-ﾉpoque Paris","description":"Belle- poque Paris witnessed the emergence of a vibrant and diverse dance scene, one that crystallized around the Ballets Russes, the Russian dance company formed by impresario Sergey Diaghilev. The company has long served as a convenient turning point in the history of dance, celebrated for its revolutionary choreography and innovative productions. This book presents a fresh slant on this much-told history. Focusing on the relation between music and dance, Davinia Caddy approaches the Ballets Russes with a wide-angled lens that embraces not just the choreographic, but also the cultural, political, theatrical and aesthetic contexts in which the company made its name. In addition, Caddy examines and interprets contemporary French dance practices, throwing new light on some of the most important debates and discourses of the day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Davinia Caddy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1107014409\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781107014404\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/26\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 254\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.80h x 6.80w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2013","brand":"Davinia Caddy","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44120796496127,"sku":"9781107014404","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f37e83a5-cee8-4ef6-b4a5-51e0c5b16364.jpg?v=1687416334","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-ballets-russes-and-beyond-davinia-caddy-9781107014404","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
