Du charleston au lindy hop, des grands orchestres swing aux claquettes, des figures de danseurs mythiques de Broadway ou de Hollywood à la scène de récital ou aux clips vidéos, la danse jazz constitue le legs de l'Amérique à la danse du XXe siècle. Dans notre pays, elle demeure la danse la plus pratiquée, en dépit d'une politique de silence et d'occultation. Soulever un pan du voile qui recouvre la complexité insoupçonnée d'une expression artistique multiculturelle où s'éprouve l'un des plus beaux exemples de métissage réussi, tel est le but de cet ouvrage. Depuis l'Amérique coloniale jusqu'à nos jours, ce livre, unique dans l'édition française et appelé à faire référence, en relate toute la vivante aventure. Il conte l'histoire dramatique du peuple noir et du folklore créé au cours des siècles, des premiers métissages, de l'émergence d'une danse vernaculaire américaine jusqu'à l'apparition des danses savantes du modern jazz. L'histoire de la danse jazz restitue les principales phases et les grandes figures de cette danse en s'attachant aux significations qui replacent le créateur ou son œuvre dans le mouvement culturel de la réalité historique.

"In the early 1960s, the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater was a small, multiracial company of dancers that performed the works of its founding choreographer and other emerging artists. By the late 1960s, the company had become a well-known African American artistic group closely tied to the civil rights struggle. In Dancing Revelations, Thomas DeFrantz chronicles the troupe's journey from a small modern dance company to one of the premier institutions of African American culture. He not only charts this rise to national and international renown, but also contextualizes this progress within the civil rights, women's rights, and gay rights struggles of the late twentieth century.". "DeFrantz examines the most celebrated Ailey dances, including Revelations, drawing on video recordings of Ailey's dances, published interviews, oral histories, and his own interviews with former Ailey company dancers. Through vivid descriptions and beautiful illustrations, DeFrantz reveals the relationship between Ailey's works and African American culture as a whole. He illuminates the dual achievement of Ailey as an artist and as an arts activist committed to developing an African American presence in dance. He also addresses concerns about how dance performance is documented, including issues around spectatorship and the display of sexuality, the relationship of Ailey's dances to civil rights activism, and the establishment and maintenance of a successful, large-scale Black Arts institution."--BOOK JACKET.
