One of the greatest books of all time about the art of Dance!
Agnes de Mille writes extremely honestly about herself in this memoir, often self-deprecatingly. Her tremendous skill as a writer is evident from the start.She comes from a family of intellectuals: Father was William C. de Mille (playwright, writer and director) and uncle Cecil B. de Mille (renowned producer-director). Her father and uncle built the name that is synonymous with movie making and production... Hollywood. The filming lots in those days were little more than scrub land with snakes wondering around the grass.She says of her father that: He was a display of intellectual pyrotechnics when speaking.And of her uncle: He was a delightful conversationalist and an exuberant raconteur, leaning on exaggeration.Not forgetting her mother, Mrs. de Mille, who also possessed a great intellect and was a tremendous influence on her.And that is where Agnes grew up. Amongst some of the most famous stars of the silent movie era and the talkies, surrounded by creativity and intellect.After meeting Anna Pavlova, in person (the famous ballerina of the period), Agnes decided that becoming a ballet dancer was her true calling. However, her lack of physical attributes needed for the art form impeded her progress. After much hard work, struggle and other avenues, she eventually turned to choreography. This is the best thing that could have happened.Most people may not know the name Agnes de Mille, but they would have seen her choreography without realising. Productions such as: Rodeo, Oklahoma, Carousel, Brigadoon and many more. Her style was unique, a blend of American, Modern and sprinkles of Classical.I was myself a principal ballet dancer in the UK and danced with The Royal Ballet and Birmingham Royal Ballet. During my career, I had the good fortune to perform in one of her creations. It was the ballet Fall River Legend about the life of Lizzie Borden (an American) who was tried and acquitted for the 1892 axe murder of her father and stepmother.This ballet had the most amazing sinister atmosphere created with hardly any choreography or movement.In Agnes' version, Lizzie is found guilty and hanged. The reason I was given (by the person setting the production) was that the composer could only compose hanging music. I actually believe Lizzie was guilty of the crime.Agnes has very strong views about dance throughout, which she voices most eloquently. Some of her views I don't share, but at least she stands by them and doesn't take a vague, politically correct and diplomatic position. However, she is from a different era and this has to be remembered when reading this wonderful book.The book is entertaining, humorous and replete with anecdotes and wonderful prose. Given that she was a physical person throughout her life, and she expressed herself through movement and choreography, her skill as a writer is second to none.This is a book worth reading.I loved it.Sergiu Pobereznic (author)
Agnes De Mille may be known best for her choreography of 'Oklahoma!' She transformed dance on Broadway, and works like 'Rodeo' and 'Fall River Legend' are still performed. 'Dance to the 'Piper' is her autobiography, written in 1951, just a few years after 'Oklahoma!' hit the stage.The book tells how she became captivated by dance after seeing Pavlova. Her career followed, despite the disapproval of her parents. Success did not come quickly and she lived mostly hand to mouth, depending on the kindness and generosity of family and friends, in London, New York, and elsewhere through the 1930s and beyond. Indeed, as World War II broke out, she had decided to give up dancing. But her failures gave her experience and the friendship of many of the young guiding lights of dance, people, like Martha Graham, who were revolutionizing what dance could be.She writes well and honestly. The book emerged from snippets written at odd hours in odd places. But, pieced together, De Mille shows the talent of a novelist. The chapter on 'Rodeo' is an picture of a first night performance--a triumph--that many performers will recognize. It will leave some readers ecstatic.My knowledge of modern dance and ballet is sadly lacking. Until I read 'Dance to the Piper,' I was no fan of De Mille. I am now.
