内容説明
American dance legend Willam Christensen founded Ballet West with the help of Utah's "First Lady of the Arts," Glenn Walker Wallis. Born out of the University of Utah's ballet department, it was, at its founding, the only professional ballet company between Chicago and the West Coast. It quickly became one of the leading companies in the nation and one of Utah's most prominent cultural institutions. This richly illustrated book celebrates Ballet West's first fifty years, sharing the challenges, innovations, and successes that have changed it through the decades. From humble beginnings to international renown, Ballet West's directors, dancers, choreographers, and teachers have crafted an American success story from hard work, perseverance, and great artistry.
Accompanied by more than two hundred photographs, the company's history is told chronologically by Ballet West's artistic directors, each representing an era of change for the company. Anecdotes and personal reflections recall the circumstances that brought the directors to Ballet West, their experiences with the company, and how the company expanded. The book includes a roster of Ballet West's dancers, past and present, and a list of all performances from the first fifty years. It also includes a special photo section devoted to the company's beloved annual Nutcracker performances.
