Dancing Genius
Tracing the historical figure of Vaslav Nijinsky in contemporary documents and later reminiscences, Dancing Genius opens up questions about authorship in dance, about critical evaluation of performance practice, and the manner in which past events are turned into history.
Nijinsky's Faune Restored
This third volume in The Language of Dance series presents Nijinsky's ballet as he himself recorded it in 1915, making this authentic version, translated into Labanotation, immediately available to dance students, teachers, scholars and researchers. It intentionally includes the historical background, the chronology of Niminsky's performances of "Faune," Nijinsky's production notes, analysis of the choreographic style of the ballet, detailed study and performance notes, approaches to learning and teaching the ballet, research problems encountered in the transcription and revival, and a comprehensive explanation of Nijinsky's notation system with examples from his score. Supplemented by photographs of the 1912 production and with the music adjacent to the dance phrases, this book provides unique access to a much discussed and elusive ballet. Nijinsky's score of his "L'Apres-midi d'un faune" lay unused for nearly forty years after his death, because nobody could read it. In 1987
The Diary of Vaslav Nijinsky
In December 1917, Vaslav Nijinsky - the most famous male dancer in the western world - moved into a Swiss villa with his wife and three year old daughter and began to go mad. This diary, which he kept in four notebooks over six weeks, offers an account of a major artist of entering psychosis. A prodigy from his youth in Russia, Nijinsky came to international fame as a principal dancer in Sergei Diaghilev's Ballets Russes. After a falling-out between the two great men - who had lived openly as lovers for some time - Nijinsky struggled to make a career on his own. When psychosis struck, he began to imagine himself married to god, signing his entries God Nijinsky. Although he lived another 30 years, he never regained his sanity.

Nijinsky
Nijinsky--one of the towering figures in the history of ballet--was unique as a dancer, interpretive artist and choreographic pioneer. His breathtaking performances with the Ballet Russe in the seasons from 1909 to 1913 took western Europe by storm. His avant-garde choreography for "L'Après-midi d'un faune" and "Le Sacre du printemps," which provoked battles in the theater and the press, is now regarded as the foundation of the modern dance. Drawing on personal conversations with countless people who knew and worked with Nijinsky and many years of far-flung and painstaking research, Richard Buckle has written what is surely destined to become the definitive Nijinsky biography. -from dust jacket.
