In this entertainingly informative book, Jennifer Fisher offers new insights into the Nutcracker phenomenon, examining it as a dance scholar and critic, a former participant, an observer of popular culture, and an interviewer of those who dance, present, and watch the beloved ballet. Fisher traces The Nutcracker's history from its St. Petersburg premiere in 1892 through its emigration to North America in the mid-twentieth century to the many productions of recent years. She notes that after it was choreographed by another Russian immigrant to the New World, George Balanchine, the ballet began to thrive and variegate: Hawaiians added hula, Canadians added hockey, Mark Morris set it in the swinging sixties, and Donald Byrd placed it in Harlem. The dance world underestimates The Nutcracker at its peril, Fisher suggests, because the ballet is one of its most powerfully resonant traditions. After starting life as a Russian ballet based on a German tale about a little girl's imagination, The Nutcracker has become a way for Americans to tell a story about their communal values and themselves.ChristmasUnited StatesChristmas792.8/4Fisher Jennifer1949-1807302MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910966227803321"Nutcracker" nation4356937UNINA02468nam 2200505 a 450 991096236670332120200520144314.097818464270461846427045(CKB)1000000000005389(OCoLC)70763785(CaPaEBR)ebrary5004025(MiAaPQ)EBC3015844(Perlego)952331(EXLCZ)99100000000000538919981104d1999 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierMusic therapy intimate notes /Mercedes Pavlicevic1st ed.London ;Philadelphia Jessica Kingsley Publishers19991 online resource (145 p.)9781849852999 1849852995 9781853026928 1853026921 Includes bibliographical references (p. 145).Intro -- Music Therapy - Intimate Notes, by Mercédès Pavlicevic -- Acknowledgements -- Introduction - Finding our Muses -- PART I - Music Therapy with Children -- Chapter 1: Daniel - Blossoms and Baptism -- Chapter 2: Wendy - 'I Used To Be Crying Every Day…' -- Chapter 3: Sinead - 'Here is my Arm…' -- Chapter 4: Giorgos - Isolation in a Hospital Ward -- PART II - Music Therapy with Adults -- Chapter 5: Martha - Working with Wellness -- Chapter 6: Mary and Steve - Creativity and Terminal Illness -- Chapter 7: Shireen - Into the Void of Brain Injury -- Chapter 8: Miriam and Seaun - Danger and Intimacy in a Secure Unit -- Chapter 9: Olive and Jim - Senility and Wisdom -- Conclusion - Intimate Notes -- Further Reading -- Blank Page.The stories and reflections in this book describe powerful encounters between nine music therapists and clients.
