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 they retired from the stage. Barbara Newman has expertly edited each of her interviews to read as a monologue; addressing every aspect of ballet; from its styles and technical demands to its personalities; its celebrated roles and; most of all; to 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 art hand down their wisdom and recount lives spent in this most enduring of art forms.

Essential for all paintersBy books-a-bazillionEver wonder what you were supposed to be taught in art school about painting strokes. brushes and using brushes correctly? I never was exposed to any of that stuff. This book made everything clear as a bell and added a considerable amount to my painting overall knowledge base. If you missed that lecture or learned to paint on your own. this is an excellent resource.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
