Ballet Technique by Tamara Karsavina
Ballet Technique; A Series of Practical Essays Hardcover – 1 May 1974 by Tamara Karsavina (Author).
The subtitle reads:- «A series of practical essays» and that is just what it is. But this is not an ordinary technique book – it deals with the finer points of technique, what makes the distinction between an ordinary student and the one with star quality. Everybody can gain much from this book, written by the late Madame Tamara Karsavina, who took part in Maestro Christian Petrovich Johansson`s «classes of perfection» and that is exactly what these essays are about. The advanced student as well as the professional could reap enormous benefit from these pearls of wisdom.
Alla Osipenko: Beauty and Resistance in Soviet Ballet by Joel Lobenthal
Alla Osipenko is the gripping story of one of history’s greatest ballerinas, a courageous rebel who paid the price for speaking truth to the Soviet state.
The daughter of a distinguished Russian aristocratic and artistic family, Osipenko was born in 1932, but raised almost in a cocoon of pre-Revolutionary decorum and protocol. In Leningrad she studied directly under Agrippina Vaganova, the most revered and influential of all Russian ballet instructors. In 1950, she joined the Mariinsky (then-Kirov) Ballet, where her lines, shapes, movement both exemplified the venerable traditions of Russian ballet and projected those traditions into uncharted and experimental realms. She was the first of her generation of Kirov stars to enchant the West when she danced in Paris in 1956.
