The Effect of a Bomb Exploding: Leonid Yakobson and Soviet Ballet as a Form of Resistance
29.99 €
In her book, Janis Ross explores the rich and complex history of Soviet ballet through the prism of one of the main troublemakers, Leonid Jacobson.
Jacobson challenged the censors by overcoming the rigid aesthetic framework of static and conservative Soviet ballet. He was an artist of contradictions, a modernist, whose works, created in dark times, gave new meaning to the role of a man dancing.
Janice Ross is a professor emeritus of theater studies at Stanford University.
He is the author of five books and a large number of articles. Her awards include Guggenheim and Fulbright Scholarships, Stanford Humanitarian Center Scholarships, the Boliasco Foundation (Italy), the New York University Ballet and Arts Center Fellowship, and research grants from the Memorial Foundation for Jewish Culture. Honorary member of the Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance.
