{"product_id":"leaps-in-the-dark","title":"Leaps in the Dark","description":"\u003cp\u003eAgnes George de Mille (1905-1993) was one of the most popular choreographers of American theatre and film in the twentieth century. She was also one of the greatest writers on dance in English, alongside Edwin Denby, Arlene Croce, and Alastair Macaulay. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDe Mille published eleven books, a review of the London première of Balanchine’s Prodigal Son, and a monograph (\"\"Russian Journals\"\"). Sadly, of these, only her biography of Martha Graham remains in print. \u003ci\u003eLeaps in the Dark\u003c\/i\u003e is a dazzling collection that reintroduces de Mille’s astounding written legacy to a new generation of dance enthusiasts. Mindy Aloff’s brief introductions provide just enough context to allow de Mille’s brilliant portraits to shine all the brighter. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis anthology presents the Prodigal Son review in full, alongside excerpts from the monograph and eight of de Mille’s ten books now out of print. The result is a beautifully crafted volume that highlights some of the most engaging, witty, and evocative dance writing ever penned.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University Press of Florida","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55805757849944,"sku":"9780813035703","price":34.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780813035703_37d89f27-d210-4108-889e-59d193e7871e.jpg?v=1777870865","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/leaps-in-the-dark","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
