The audience conversations end with a few softly dissipating whispers, and the movie begins. Nina Sayers, a young ballerina, dances the prologue to Tchaikovskyas Swan Lake, a ballet expressing a story drawn from Russian folk tales about a princess who has been turned into a White Swan and can only be turned back if a man swears eternal fidelity to her. However, this is not that ballet. This is the beginning of Black Swan, a controversial movie employing symbolism in a complex interweaving of dance and film to reveal the struggles and paradoxes of everything from a female rite-of-passage to questions about where artistic expression should demand self-sacrifice and whether such sacrifice is worth the price. - - The dance floor is the stage of life, the place where physical actions take on the symbolic meanings of mythology and express the deepest archetypes of the human mind. This book explores how dance gives shape to those human needs and how it reflects, and even creates, the maps of meaning and value that structure our lives. Though it attempts to cover all the forms of dance, it focuses on four main categories: religious, artistic, social, and artistic. Since the American Musical and subsequent Musical Videos have both reflected and influenced our current world, they receive the most spacesuch acclaimed performers as Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly, Judy Garland, Ricky Nelson, Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson, such important composers and lyrists as Gershwin, Rodgers-and-Hammerstein, Porter, Berlin, Webber, Bernstein, the Beatles, and the Who, and such choreographers as Graham, Balanchine, Robbins and Fosse are examined in particular detail. - 606 $aDance$xMythology 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aDance$xMythology. 676 $a434 700 $aEiss$b Harry$0855079 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452639903321 996 $aThe mythology of dance$91909227 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04989nam 22009253u 450 001 9910780170203321 005 20231212162544.0 010 $a1-58729-302-1 035 $a(CKB)111056486861646 035 $a(EBL)859280 035 $a(OCoLC)50523688 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000102101 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11137800 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000102101 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10043741 035 $a(PQKB)11674302 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC859280 035 $a(EXLCZ)99111056486861646 100 $a20131216d1998|||| u|| | 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---|||u| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aAmerican gothic $enew interventions in a national narrative / edited by Robert K.

Special attention is paid to the issues of slavery and race in both black and white texts, including those by Ralph Ellison and William Faulkner.
