Janet Green: Murder Mistaken

Murder Mistaken

This book tells the relatively unknown story of Mura Dehn (1902- 1987) a white, Jewish dancer from Russia, once deemed among the most beautiful classical dancers in Europe, who emigrated to the United States in the 1930s. For the first time the efforts of Dehn to record, analyse and champion the development of jazz dance in America during the 1930s, 40s and 50s are brought to life. The book celebrates and explores her long-term commitment to supporting and nurturing Black American jazz dancers, and devoting her life to heralding and chronicling its innovators and creators through performance, teaching and film-making. This work includes both first-hand accounts with people who knew and worked with Dehn, including her company manager Allen Blitz, friend Eiko Otake, and notable urban dance scholars such as Sally Sommer; and material from Dehn's archival collection in the New York Public Library. The book offers a flavour of the dance halls, the first places of social-racial integration in America, where jazz was born out of African-American social dances, and gives credence to the growing acceptance of this form of art as equivalent to classical dance and music.

Thinking Through Theatre

What does it mean to teach an ephemeral object like 'performance'? And what might the teaching of performance have to offer to other kinds of teaching and learning in a changing world? Through posing and seeking to answer these questions, this open-access book urges a reconsideration of the relationship between performance and pedagogy. These questions are urgent in the light of profound changes, both institutional and historical, in the larger scope of higher education and the place performance may have in that setting and its peripheries. Each of the chapters considers an object and its role in performance pedagogy. The objects range from the concrete to the conceptual and open new ways of considering how to teach performance and how performance teaches. The book features a unique construction - "interstitial exchanges" - wherein the authors of each chapter pose provocations and responses to each other through short essays between the main chapters, connecting the disparate objects of performance pedagogy and offering dialogues. In this way, the volume opens conversations beyond performance studies, asking what performance might have to say about the objects all around us that shape our lives in the 21st century. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY NC-ND-4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.

Shortly after the death of celebrated playwright Henrik Ibsen, his widow Suzannah receives word that her husband's former protégée is in town peddling a libelous diary exposing the playwright's misdeeds. Enlisting help from her sharp-witted stepmother, Ibsen's long-lost illegitimate son, a servant girl with a wayward pelvis, and an enigmatic rodent exterminator known as the Rat Wife, Suzannah sets out to preserve her husband's legacy by any means necessary.Written by the legendary Charles Busch, Ibsen's Ghost tells a tall (and hilarious) tale of the toll a great man's ghost takes on the women at the soul of his work.

James Joyce's only surviving play, Exiles builds upon one of his most famous short stories, 'The Dead', as well as elements of his own life. It follows the story of writer Richard Rowan, who, along with his 'common-law wife' Bertha and their young son Archie, has come home to Dublin after ten long years away. Yet far from bringing comfort and ease, the couple's return to the place where they first met triggers an existential questioning, an anxiousness which is exacerbated by meetings with old friends and lovers. Exiles is a profound exploration of jealousy, doubt and the complexity of human desire. 'A landmark of modern theatre that explores the byzantine complexities of marriage with the honesty of genius' Guardian With a new introduction and notes by Andrew Gibson

After ten long years spent away from Dublin, Richard, Bertha and their young illegitimate son Archie are back home. Despite expectations of comfort and domesticity, the couple's return to the place where they first met triggers an existential questioning, an anxiousness which is exacerbated by meetings with old friends and lovers. James Joyce's only surviving play, Exiles builds upon one of his most famous short stories, 'The Dead', to provide a profound exploration of jealousy, doubt and the complexity of human desire.
