Produktbeschreibung
A series of interviews with some of the foremost dancers in twentieth century ballet, Never Far From Dancing reflects on the paths that their careers have taken since retiring from the stage. Each interview is edited expertly by Barbara Newman to read as a monologue, reflecting on every aspect of ballet, from its styles and technical demands to its personalities and celebrated roles, but most of all on what happens when the dancing stops. While ballet invites all manner of writing from critics, admirers and academics, the thoughts and experiences of the dancers themselves are seldom recorded. Here, those who scaled the heights of their craft hand down their wisdom and recount lives spent in this most enduring of art forms.
