Revealing the Inner Contours of Human Emotion: Preserving the Ballets of Anthony Tudor

Antony Tudor stands as one of the pillars of twentieth-century ballet choreography.

An English born choreographer who found a home in the United States, Tudor gained renown as the most innovative choreographer of his day.

He explored the inner contours of human emotion as he sculpted one-act short stories about ordinary men and women.

Based on a series of interviews with the curators of the Tudor legacy: Sally Bliss, Trustee of the Antony Tudor Ballet Trust, and four of the R\u00e9p\u00e9titeurs, the professionals tasked with restaging the Tudor ballets, this book discusses the legacy of Antony Tudor and the restaging of his ballets to preserve their unique qualities that make them Tudor ballets.
