The Bombshell Effect: Leonid Yakobson and Soviet Ballet as a Form of Resistance
29.99 €
In her book, Janice Ross explores the rich and complex history of Soviet ballet through the lens of one of its greatest troublemakers, Leonid Yakobson.
Yakobson challenged censors, transcending the rigid aesthetic constraints of the 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 the dancer.

Janice Ross is a Distinguished Professor in the Department of Theater Studies at Stanford University.
She is the author of five books and numerous articles. Her awards include Guggenheim and Fulbright fellowships, fellowships from the Stanford Humanities Center, a Bogliasco Foundation Fellowship (Italy), a fellowship from the Center for Ballet and the Arts at New York University, and research grants from the Memorial Foundation for Jewish Culture. She is also an Honorary Member of the Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance.
