This is the book of reminiscences of the Ballets Russes which MrBeaumont, as the best qualified man in England, has, for the last tenyears, been urged to write. Readers will find that it is more intimateand personal than any of Mr Beaumont’s previous works. From1912 he saw every London season of Diaghilev’s Ballet, at first, as amember of the public, and, after 1918, both before and behind thecurtain, as a friend of the Director and his lieutenants and of manyof the Company.This book records the Ballet’s activities in London,and a personal critical impression of the principal dancers in theroles that they made famous. Little intimate incidents are included,and pen pictures of distinguished personalities in private life. It tellsfor the first time, and for all time, what the Diaghilev Ballet wasreally like.

  • Unworking Choreography
    Frederic Pouillaude
    There is no archive or museum of human movement, no place where choreographies can be collected and conserved in pristine form. The central consequence of this is the incapacity of philosophy and aesthetics to think of dance as a positive and empirical art. In the eyes of philosophers, dance refers to a space other than art, considered both more frivolous and more fundamental t...
