Jag avundas målarna. Deras verk är oändliga. Verken bär sitt eget liv inom sig, oberoende av deras skapare. En dans lever ganska kort. Lika kort som dansören själv.
Jean Börlin
I efterkrigstidens 1920-tal blomstrade nya idéer och en kreativ experimentlusta väcktes till liv. Ett nytt avantgarde tog form. I dess epicentrum fanns en nyskapande danstrupp med en radikal och utmanande repertoar som inte drog sig för att provocera sin publik, de kallade sig Svenska Baletten (Ballets Suédois). Dess ledare var det excentriska paret Rolf de Maré och Jean Börlin, men medskaparna var många. Svenska Baletten var inget danskompani i vanlig mening, deras skapelser var mer än bara koreografi, de var allkonstverk. Förutom de unga dansarna i kompaniet, samarbetade man med konstnärer som Nils Dardel, Francis Picabia och Fernand Léger och kompositörer som Erik Satie, Hugo Alvén och Darius Milhaud, för att nämna några.
Med multimediala verk som Bröllopet på Eiffeltornet (Les Mariés de la Tour Eiffel), Iberia, Människan och hennes åtrå (L Homme et son désir) och Världens skapelse (Le Création du monde), där musiken, scendekoren, koreografin, dräkterna, framförandet och ibland till och med publiken var en del av skapelsen, intog de scener runt om i Europa och USA mellan 1920 och 1925.
I tio kapitel författade av konstvetare, danshistoriker, musikvetare, teaterforskare och koreografer berättas historien om Svenska Baletten: Genom striderna med Stockholmsoperan, skandalerna och det illvilliga skvallret i pressen. Genom konstsamlingarna och målningarna som inspirerade och inspirerades. Genom den historiska synen på den manliga kroppen. Genom de kvinnliga dansarnas äventyr. Genom kärlek, vänskap, konflikter och tragedier. Genom ekonomiska bekymmer och konkurrensen med Ryska Baletten. Genom Paris, Stockholm och Köpenhamn. Genom experimentella musikaliska kompositioner och dess betydelse för kompositörer som John Cage. Genom extravaganta och innovativa haute couture-kostymer. Genom arvet som de lämnat efter sig till nya generationer dansare och genom ett återuppförande av deras dadaistiska verk Relâche. Svenska Baletten var före sin tid på många plan.
Svenska Baletten var queer långt innan queer blev ett begrepp inom genusforskningen. Svenska Baletten skapade performancekonst långt innan Fluxusrörelsen introducerade det för konstvärlden på 1960-talet. Den här boken lyfter fram deras betydelse för modernismen såväl som för efterkommande generationers konstnärer, kompositörer, koreografer, dansare, modeskapare och forskare. Det blev som Börlin önskade, Svenska Baletten lever vidare, den är oändlig.

___An innocent woman sent to the Gulag. A passion that gave her the will to survive.‘Shattering, cinematic and brave’ Simon Morrison, author of Bolshoi Confidential___Nina Anisimova was one of Russia’s most intriguing ballerinas and one of the first Soviet female choreographers. Yet few knew that her exemplary career concealed a dark secret.In 1938, at the height of Stalin’s Great Terror, Nina was arrested by the secret police, accused of being a Nazi spy and sentenced to forced labour in a camp in Kazakhstan. Trapped without hope – and without winter clothes in temperatures of minus 40 degrees – her art was her salvation, giving her a reason to fight for her life.As Nina struggled to survive in the Gulag, her husband fought for her release in Leningrad. Against all odds, she was ultimately freed and astonishingly managed to return to her former life, just as war broke out. Despite wartime deprivation and the suffocating grip of Stalin’s totalitarian state, Nina’s irrepressible determination set her on the path to become an icon of the Kirov Ballet.A remarkable true story of suffering and injustice, of courage, resilience and triumph.___‘Nina Anisimova’s story is extraordinary – heroic and harrowing in equal measure, a snapshot of the best and worst of Stalin’s Russia – and Christina Ezrahi does it vivid, gripping justice.’ Judith Mackrell, author of The Unfinished Palazzo‘Christina Ezrahi vividly charts this brutal and uplifting story, bringing alive an extraordinary resourcefulness and determination to survive.’ Helen Rappaport, author of The Race to Save the Romanovs‘Christina Ezrahi has uncovered a remarkable, untold episode in Soviet ballet history, which she brings to life through her customary rigorous research, clarity of expression and elegance of prose.’ Baroness Deborah Bull ‘An inspiring tale of survival against the odds. Ezrahi's diligent scholarship casts much-needed light on ballet history's darkest chapter.’ Luke Jennings, dance critic and author of Killing Eve

Rolf de Maré is the Swede who meant the most for international modern art and dance. He founded the Swedish Ballet in Paris in the 1920s, was one of the first who collected modern artists such as Picasso, made research trips throughout the world and founded the Dance Museum in Stockholm. But Rolf also lived an exciting life. He loved fast cars, bullfights, beautiful men and elegant parties. And he never denied his homosexuality and this at a time when it was forbidden by law. Rolf de Maré made a unique contribution by filming and documenting dance cultures, especially in Indonesia, which has then disappeared. He ran variety shows and launched superstars like Josephine Baker, founded the world's first magazine for men's fashion, Monsieur, and ran for many years a coffee farm in Africa. He opened the Dance Museum 1952 in Stockholm, the world's first and only museum of dance. He died in 1964 in Barcelona. His great fortune he bequeathed to the Museum of Dance and the main works of his art collection he donated to The Modern Museum in Stockholm.
The book is written by Erik Näslund, author, critic, researcher and for many years the director of the Dance Museum in Stockholm. He has also received great acclaim for his biographies of Birgit Cullberg, Nils Dardel, Carina Ari and Carl Milles.

I envy the painters. Their art is eternal. The work carries its own life within, independent of its creator. A dance lives rather short. As short as the dancer himself. Jean Börlin
In the post-war 1920s, new ideas were blossoming and a creative experimental appetite was awakening. A new avant-garde took form. At its epicentre was an unconventional dance troupe with a politically charged repertoire that did not hesitate to provoke its audience: they went by the name Ballets Suédois. The eccentric couple Rolf de Maré and Jean Börlin were its leaders, but the co-creators were many. Ballets Suédois was not an ordinary dance company, their creations were more than plain choreography, they were total artworks. Aside from the young dancers in the company, they had collaborations with artists such as Nils Dardel, Francis Picabia and Fernand Léger, and composers like Erik Satie, Hugo Alvén and Darius Milhaud, to name but a few.
With multi-media works such as Les Mariés de la Tour Eiffel (The Wedding on the Eiffel Tower), Iberia, and L Homme et son désir (Man and his Desire), where the music, stage décor, choreography, costumes, performance, and at times even the audience, were part of the creation, they took over stages around Europe and the USA between 1920 and 1925.
In ten chapters written by art history professors, dance historians, music historians, theatre scholars and choreographers, the story about Ballets Suédois is told: Through the feuds with the Stockholm Opera, the scandals and the vicious gossip in the press. Through the art collections and painters that inspired and were inspired. Through historical views on the male body. Through the adventures of the female dancers. Through love, friendship, conflict and tragedy. Through financial troubles and the fierce competition with Ballets Russes. Through Paris, Stockholm and Copenhagen. Through experimental musical compositions and their influence on composers such as John Cage. Through the innovative and extravagant haute-couture costumes. Through the legacy they left behind for new generations of dancers and through a re-enactment of their Dadaistic piece Relâche.
Ballets Suédois were ahead of their times in many regards. Ballets Suédois were queer long before it was a notion in gender and LBTQ research. Ballets Suédois created performance art long before the Fluxus movement introduced it to the art world in the 1960s. This book highlights their importance for modernism as well as following generations of artists, composers, choreographers, dancers, fashion designers and scholars.
Börlin s wish came true: Ballets Suédois lives on, it is eternal.

On a freezing night in January 2013, an assailant hurled acid in the face of the artistic director of the Bolshoi Ballet, Sergei Filin. The crime, organized by a lead soloist, dragged one of Russia’s most illustrious institutions into scandal.Under Vladimir Putin, the Bolshoi Theatre has been called on to preserve Russia’s lengthy artistic legacy and to mirror its neo-imperial ambitions. As renowned musicologist Simon Morrison shows in his tour-de-force account, the attack, and its torrid aftermath, underscored the importance of the Bolshoi to the art of ballet, to Russia, and to the world.With exclusive access to state archives and private sources, Morrison sweeps us through the history of the ballet, tracing the political ties that bind the institution to the varying Russian regimes, and detailing the birth of some of the best-loved ballets in the repertoire. From its disreputable beginnings in 1776, the Bolshoi became a point of pride for the tsarist empire after the defeat of Napoleon in 1812.After the revolution, Moscow was transformed into a global capital; meetings of the Communist Party were hosted at the Bolshoi, and the Soviet Union was signed into existence on its stage. Recently, a £450 million restoration has returned the Bolshoi to its former glory, even as prized talent has departed.The Theatre has been bombed, rigged with explosives and reinforced with cement. Its dancers have suffered unimaginable physical torment to climb the ranks. But, as Morrison reveals, the Bolshoi has transcended its own fraught history, surviving 250 years of artistic and political upheaval to define not only Russian culture but also ballet itself.

Margot Fonteyn - born plain Peggy Hookham - was dreamed into existence by the architects of British ballet: Ninette de Valois, Frederick Ashton and Constant Lambert. Carried to fame on a wave of wartime patriotism, Margot's sense of duty rather than ambition propelled her forward. Yet her gifts were such that her pre-eminence would come to eclipse the careers of subsequent generations.Ballet is a fairytale world; if Margot, like the pure and poetic heroine of Swan Lake, was a natural Odette, she would also have to contend with virtue's raw shadow-side in the guise of Constant Lambert, Roberto Arias and Rudolph Nureyev - the men who, like Von Rothbart, were to take possession of her heart.

In 1866, when the ballet La Source debuted, the public at the Paris Opera may have been content to dream about its setting in the verdant Caucasus, its exotic Circassians, veiled Georgians, and powerful Khan. Yet the ballet's botany also played to a public thinking about ethnic and exotic others at the same time-and in the same ways-as they were thinking about plants. Along with these stereotypes, with a flower promising hybridity in a green ecology, and the death of the embodied Source recuperated as a force for regeneration, the ballet can be read as a fable of science and the performance as its demonstration. Programmed for the opening gala of the new Opera, the Palais Garnier, in 1875 the ballet reflected not so much a timeless Orient as timely colonial policy and engineering in North Africa, the management of water and women.One Dead at the Paris Opera Ballet takes readers to four historic performances, over 150 years, showing how-- through the sacrifice of a feminized Nature-- La Source represented the biopolitics of sex and race, and the cosmopolitics of human and natural resources. Its 2011 reinvention at the Paris Opera, following the adoption of new legislation banning the veil in public spaces, might have staged gender and climate justice in sync with the Arab Spring, but opted instead for luxury and dream. Its 2014 reprise might have focused on decolonizing the stage or raising eco-consciousness, but exemplified the greater urgency attached to Islamist threat rather than imminent climate catastrophe, missing the ballet's historic potential to make its audience think.

Written primarily as a guide book for parents, it is just as useful for teachers, and this exemplary document would do well to have a place on the bookshelf in every dance studio waiting room. Not only can dance parents learn from this informative text, but dance teachers can be nudged toward a greater understanding and anticipation of parents needs and questions. Getting Started in Ballet fills a gap, conveniently under one cover, welcoming parents to regard every aspect of their child''s possible future in dance. Without this book, there would be little documentation of the parenting aspect of dance. Dance is unlike any other training or field and knowing how to guide a young dancer can make or break them as a dancer or dance lover.
