Dancing the Fairy Tale
Temple University Press,U.S. (Verlag)
978-1-4399-1122-8 (ISBN)
Using extensive archival research, dance analysis, and American feminist theory, Dancing the Fairy Tale places women at the center of a historical narrative to reveal how the production and performance of The Sleeping Beauty in the years between 1937 and 2002 made significant contributions to the development and establishment of an American classical ballet. Katz Rizzo highlights not only what women have done not only behind the scenes, as administrators, producers, or directors of ballet companies and schools, but also as active interpreters embodying the ballet's title role.
In the process, Katz Rizzo also emphasizes the importance of regional sites outside of locations traditionally understood as central to the development of ballet in the United States.
Laura Katz Rizzo is Program Coordinator of the Bachelor of Fine Arts Program in Dance at Temple University, as well as a frequent guest speaker, choreographer, and pedagogue at universities and ballet companies across the United States.
