| Резюме: |
Dance is a Moment captures Lim©đn's personality and achievements through a combination of narrative, direct quotations and stunning photography. The portrait is divided according to the spheres of his life: Part I, Life, is biographical and traces Lim©đn from revolution-torn Mexico to New York. Part II, Work, focuses on Lim©đn's choreographic process, taking the reader from the germ of a dance idea through to the performance. Lim©đn's masterpiece There is a Time is used as the case-study. The book focuses on Lim©đn's relationships with his dancers, the composer Norman Dello Joio, his wife, costume designer Pauline Lawrence Lim©đn and his mentor and artistic director, Doris Humphrey. Performance and behind-the-scenes photographs of the original cast illustrate the rehearsals and premiere. Intimate reminiscences of Lim©đn recalled by Charles Woodford bracket Life and Work, fully fleshing out this revealing portrait. The photographs℗many never before published℗depict Lim©đn's personal life and professional career as a dancer. Jos©♭ Lim©đn (1908-1972) was the foremost male modern dancer of his era (1940-1960s). He began dancing with the Humphrey-Weidman Company, then went on to lead his own company and to choreograph dances of brilliance and high drama. His company and school survive as testimony to Lim©đn's significant contributions to and influences within the modern dance community. Includes 52 illustrations. |
