Description & Specifications

La Nijinska is the first biography of the leading female choreographer of the 20th century. Merging lives and myths, Bronislava Nijinska had a much longer and more productive career than her brother, Vaslav Nijinsky. As an architect of 20th-century neoclassicism, she experienced the transformative power of the Russian Revolution and created her greatest work - Les Noces - under the influence of the avant-garde. Many of her dances highlighted the exploration of gender boundaries and the questioning of conventional gender roles. She was a prominent figure of Russia abroad and collaborated with leading 20th-century artists such as Stravinsky, Diaghilev, Poulenc, Alexandra Exter, Natalia Goncharova, Frederick Ashton, Alicia Markova, and Maria Tallchief. Nijinska was also a notable dancer with impressive technique and strong stage presence, which allowed her to perform an unusually broad repertoire. Finally, she was the author of an acclaimed volume of memoirs, as well as a significant treatise on movement. Nijinska's career illuminates the modern history of ballet and modernism, reclaiming the memory of lost works and forgotten artists, many of them women. At the same time, it reveals the sexism that prevailed in the upper echelons of the ballet world in the early and mid-20th century, barriers that female choreographers still face.
