Book Description
Excerpt from Dance Index, 1944, Vol. 3 From Kiev Tchelitchew went, indirectly, to Constantinople where, two years later, he designed six ballets for the company of Vic tor Zimine, a pupil of the dancer Mikhail Mordkin. As had been the case with The Geisha, the designs were simple for the bal lets which the troupe of half a dozen dancers presented were short and were changed each week. But in them Tchelitchew realised some of the theatrical'possibilities of cubism, to ward which his ideas had turned. The lines of the fairy tale costumes which he straight ened to heighten the fantasy suggested to him the larger possibilities in the same direction which he used in subsequent productions. He saw that in movement ballet costumes could become quite different from their stationary forms, and he began to include all the per mutations a costume might undergo in his original conception of it.

Excerpt from Dance Index, Vol. 3: Three or Four Graces; Sept., Oct., Nov., 1944 It is proverbial that a brief question may take volumes to answer in full - as, Who was Louis XVII? A summary reply can always be given as, the Lost Dauphin - but that only poses more questions than it answers.

Book Description
Excerpt from Dance Index, Vol. 2: March, 1943 The manner in which Nijinsky's face changes from role to role is immediately striking. It is en hanced by makeup, but not created by it. In fact a friend pointed out that the only role In which one recognizes Nijinsky's civilian face is that of Petrouchka where he is most heavily made up. There is no mystery about such transformability. People don't usually realize how much any face changes in the course of a day, and how often it is unrecognizable for an instant or two. Nijinsky seems to have controlled the variability a face has. The same metamorphosis is obvious in his body. The Spectre for instance has no age or sex, the Faun is adolescent, the hero of Jeux has a body full grown and experienced. Till can be either boy or man. The Slave in Scheherazade is fat, the Spectre is thin. It does not look like the same body. One can say that in this sense there is no exhibitionism in Nijinsky's photographs. He is never showing you himself, or an interpreta tion of himself. He is never vain of what he is showing you; The audience does not see him as a professional dancer, or as a professional charmer. He disappears completely, and instead there is an imaginary being in his place. Like a classic artist, he remains 'detac - hed, unseen, unmoved, disinter ested. Looking at him, one is in an imaginary world, entire and very clear; and one's emotions are not directed at their material objects, but at their imag inary satisfactions. As he said himself, he danced with love. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from How and What to Dance To the reader To the man in the street who looks aghast at the modern ballroom and its vagaries, I dedicate this work. Although dancing cannot be learnt from books, any more than an instrument can be mastered after a series of lec tures, if this little volume proves of some guidance to those who are learning, it will have served its full purpose.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Book of the Dance When I decided to publish in book form the pictures of the dance which I had made during the last few years, my object was not to make a book of personalities. I merely wanted to show some of the phases of modern dance tendencies that could be recorded in a pictorially interesting manner. This, therefore, is meant to be just a picture book, permanently recording some, thing of the fugitive charm of rhythmic motion, significant gesz ture and brilliant color which the dance has once more brought into our lives. The pictures, arranged simply in groups, are even without titles. What they are intended to convey would not have been helped by labels.
