| Abstract
|
:
|
"Challenging and unsettling their predecessors, modern choreographers such as Matthew Bourne, Mark Morris and Masaki Iwana have courted controversy and notoriety by reimagining the most canonical of Classical and Romantic ballets." "In this book, Dr. Vida Midgelow examines the ways in which these contemporary reworkings unveil and dismantle the basic assumptions of their texts, reconfiguring ballet to encompass changing attitudes towards gender, sexuality and cultural difference."--BOOK JACKET.
