Inhalt:
Performing Antiquity tells the captivating story about some of the most intriguing Belle Époque personalities -archaeologists, philologists, classicists, and musicologists - and the dancers, composers, choreographers and musicians who brought their research to life at the birth of Modernism.
Inhalt:
Performing Antiquity investigates collaboration between French and American scholars of Greek antiquity (archaeologists, philologists, classicists, and musicologists) and the performing artists (dancers, composers, choreographers, and musicians) who brought their research to life at the birth of modernism. The book tells the story of performances that took place at academic conferences, the Paris Opéra, ancient amphitheaters in Delphi, and private homes. These musical and dance collaborations were built on reciprocity: the performers gained new insight into their craft while leaning new techniques or repertoire, and the scholars got to see theory become practice; that is, they had a chance to see/hear/feel what they had studied and imagined. The performers received the imprimatur of scholarship, the stamp of authenticity, and validation for their creative activities. Drawing from methods and theory from musicology, dance studies, performance studies, queer studies, archaeology, and classics, Performing Antiquity shows how new scholarly methods and technologies altered the performance and ultimately the reception of music and dance of the past. Acknowledging and critically examining the complex relationship performers and scholars had with the pasts they studied does not undermine their work. Rather, understanding their own limits, dreams, obsessions, desires, loves, and fears enriched the ways they performed the past.
