Reviews
"Pranzatelli captures the changes the troupe has undergone in the 50 years between its beginning as a countercultural phenomenon and its current state as an established part of dance history. . . . He shows us how dances come together. His keen analysis of such works as 'Day Two' and 'Gnomen' helps us see more deeply into their beauty, fostering a new appreciation for this pathbreaking company."-- Wall Street Journal "An important contribution to modern American dance history that will resonate with Pilobolus' many fans and engender new ones."-- Booklist "Pranzatelli gives behind-the-scenes insight into both the art-making process and the often-grueling business of running a dance company. The book includes photographs, some never before published, that give readers a taste of Pilobolus's hallmark bodily wizardry. . . . Pranzatelli's vivid descriptions of the group's canonical pieces will have readers running to find videos to see the magic for themselves."-- Library Journal "Pranzatelli navigates us through the insouciance and absurdity of Pilobolus' past, which turns out to be very much about its future--delving into the possibilities of dance theatre."-- Arts Fuse "Sometimes when you explain how a magic trick works, it kills the amazement. This book proves the opposite. When Pranzatelli takes you backstage, he leads you Dante-like through the Inferno/mystery of Pilobolus. And you will--as I do--love, love, love these people who fearlessly flex their hearts with their muscles, and fill their stage with beauty, humor, sex, and joy."-- Teller (of Penn & Teller) "What a joyful, absorbing chronicle of creativity. With skillful prose and miles of heart, Pranzatelli captures the wit, sensuality, and daring of Pilobolus, the group that blew up dance theatre and keeps making discoveries after more than 50 years."-- Sarah L. Kaufman , Pulitzer Prize-winning dance critic, author of The Art of Grace: On Moving Well Through Life "A highly readable, insightful journey into the history, creative process, and fascinating personalities of America's most inventive dance/theater company."--Steven Banks, playwright, actor, and New York Times-bestselling writer "Pranzatelli lovingly captures the enchanted, ingenious world of Pilobolus: the open-hearted spirit of discovery; the fearless commitment to exploration; the irreverent, unquenchable creativity of the artists who have shaped and reshaped this remarkable project over the decades."--Trish Sie, filmmaker, Sitting in Bars with Cake "A thorough, insightful, expressive, and very readable account of a singular dance troupe. While chronicling Pilobolus's journey through the decades, and astutely spotlighting relevant people, dynamics, and context, this book gives a sense of the troupe's vitality, in part through eloquent description and analysis of specific dance works and overall aesthetic."--Celia Wren, theater and dance writer "Pranzatelli has written the saga of a creative 'chosen family,' and it is both appealing and a real page-turner."--Elizabeth Zimmer, coeditor of Envisioning Dance on Film and Video, "An important contribution to modern American dance history that will resonate with Pilobolus' many fans and engender new ones."-- Booklist "Pranzatelli gives behind-the-scenes insight into both the art-making process and the often-grueling business of running a dance company.

Pranzatelli traces the group's development from a counterculture assemblage of outsiders to a world-renowned creative collaborative whose work can be seen in live performances and on film and digital media. He uses his own experience, personal interviews, and extensive research (much of it in unpublished sources) to document its story to great effect. Pranzatelli's observations are perceptive and insightful, as when he writes that the group's 'essence is not motion but wit made physical through the human body.' The stunning photographs found throughout the book bear this out. Following the text are a list of Pilobolus dancers through the years and a bibliography that includes citations to interviews conducted by the author and sources consulted. In all, this is an important contribution to modern American dance history that will resonate with Pilobolus' many fans and engender new ones."-- Booklist, "Pranzatelli gives behind-the-scenes insight into both the art-making process and the often-grueling business of running a dance company.

- _***j (26)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaThis seller was fantastic. Not only is the item just as described, I had to cancel my first order because I accidentally used the wrong payment method. When I wrote her and told her I really wanted the item at the price she had offered me, this seller was kind enough to relist it and let me buy it at the lower price. Would buy from her again.Kingdom Of Ash Throne Of Glass Book 7 Sarah J Maas 2018 HC OOP Cover HCDJ NEW (#176997934526)
