Requests:  0 Summary:  "A critical biography of Alexei Ratmansky-the most significant international classical choreographer of our day-written with his full cooperation and the support of American Ballet Theatre, the company of which he is resident choreographer"-- Alexei Ratmansky may be the most celebrated ballet choreographer of our time; he is transforming ballet for the twenty-first century with breathtakingly original works for the world's most revered companies. He has fashioned a singular approach to balletic storytelling that bridges the space between narrative and abstraction and heightens ambiguity and surprise on the stage, while also restoring great centuries-old ballets to their former glory, combining archival research with his own choreographic genius to retrieve detail and color once lost to the ages. Before Ratmansky found success he was just a boy from Kyiv, sneaking into the ballet at night, concocting his own juvenile adaptations of novels and stories, and dreaming up new possibilities for bodies in motion. In this critical biography, Harss takes us behind the curtain for a mesmerizing study of creativity in action, and a testament to ballet's enduring vitality. -- adapted from jacket   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Art, Music & Recreation 792.82092 Ratmanskii Ha item being mended Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 792.82092 Ratmanskii Ha Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 792.82092 Ratmanskii Ha Checked In Add Copy to MyList
