NEW CHINEMA ON CHOREOGRAPHY & CHOREOGRAPHERS:

The White Crow, directed by Ralph Fiennes

Director Ralph Fiennes captures the raw physicality and brilliance of Rudolf Nureyev, whose escape to the West stunned the world at the height of the Cold War. Nureyev is played by world-class ballet performer Oleg Ivenko.

With his magnetic presence, Nureyev emerged as ballet’s most famous star, a wild and beautiful dancer limited by the world of 1950’s Leningrad. His flirtation with western artists and ideas led him into a high-stakes game of cat and mouse with the KGB.

David Hare’s drum-tight script offers thrilling insight into Nureyev’s dangerous defection, masterminded by the dancer’s great friend, 21-year-old Parisian Clara Saint (Exarchopoulos). In an astonishing finale at Le Bourget airport in Paris, the white crow leaps to freedom, and in so doing defines his destiny.

NEW BOOKS ON CHOREOGRAPHY & CHOREOGRAPHERS:

William Forsythe: Choreographic Objects, by Louise Neri (Author), Eva Respini (Author), Daniel Birnbaum (Contributor), Susan Foster (Contributor), Rebecca Groves (Contributor), Publisher: Prestel, October 16, 2018, Hardcover: 240 pages

Forsythe has developed a body of work he calls "Choreographic Objects." These experimental, interactive works invite the viewer to engage with the fundamental ideas of choreography and extend Forsythe’s choreographic explorations beyond the stage and skilled professionals to public spaces and the layperson.

This volume considers the full breadth of his oeuvre and features contributions from leading scholars, critics, and theorists in the disciplines of visual arts, choreography, and dance. Forsythe’s highly engaging voice shines through in his own writing, which enriches and deepens the scholarly essays in the book.

In addition, the book features an illustrated chronology of The Forsythe Company (2005-15), the artist’s dance troupe that followed his legendary tenure at Ballett Frankfurt. Generously illustrated, this volume is certain to become a reference book for Forsythe’s many fans as well as an invaluable resource for students of visual art, dance, and interdisciplinary practice.
