Dance With Demons–The Life of Jerome Robbins
In the spring of 1950, Jerome Robbins should have been on top of the world. At the age of thirty-one, he was already a commanding creative force. On Broadway, he had choreographed five musicals, including the groundbreaking On the Town, and his work with Ballet Theatre and the New York City Ballet had established him as an artist of astonishing diversity. In the decades to come, he would transform Broadway, as both a choreographer and a director, with such shows as West Side Story, The King and I, Gypsy, Peter Pan, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, Fiddler on the Roof and Jerome Robbins’ Broadway. In ballet, he would create more than sixty works that became the cutting edge to a homegrown revolution; dances, as he put it, “paced with an American tempo,” airy sylphs and enchanted princesses banished in favor of earthly themes and a language of movement all his own. For all this, he would win five Tony Awards, two Academy Awards, a Kennedy Center Honor, the National Medal of the Arts and the French Legion of Honor. [download]
