Romantic Landscapes for Dance
During the Romantic period ballet narratives often transpired in natural settings that reflected landscape traditions in the other arts. Jay Appleton's modern interdisciplinary landscape theory provides three useful concepts for analyzing the role of landscape in the ballet repertory: prospect, refuge, and hazard. Elements of hazard evoke Edmund Burke's eighteenth-century theory of the sublime, but the ballerinas' beauty and pointe technique may …

A Plurality of Romanticisms
In Romanticism and Post-Modernism , Edward Larrissy states, “It has long been recognized that Romanticism is a dubious essence” (1999, 2).

Theatrical dancing in the Territory of Utah, 1848–1868
In the second half of the nineteenth century, a relatively unknown theatrical tradition flourished in a community which strove to isolate itself in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, commonly known as the Mormons, developed a repertory similar to that of other theatres across the continent, but their religion added a unique flavor to their social and theatrical entertainments. When th…
