“Roni Mahler spent her formative years in a ballet studio under the tutelage of Madame Maria Yurieva Swoboda and at Yankee Stadium, where she cheered for her idol, Mickey Mantle. At age 18, Mahler joined the corps de ballet of the renowned Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo and later became Principal Dancer at the National Ballet of Washington, D.C., under the guidance of NYCB founder George Balanchine. In 1969 she returned to New York City as a soloist with American Ballet Theatre in principal roles like the high-flying Queen of the Wilis in Giselle. 

Known for her singular approach to cross-training while teaching ballet to football players, Mahler has taught around the world and, as the Artistic Associate of Cleveland Ballet/Ballet San Jose, dedicated over three decades to teaching, coaching, and performing. Written in collaboration with her ballet disciple and friend, this intimate account details her journey from the ballet stage and the baseball diamond to the gridiron and beyond.”

“From 1964 until his death, choreographer Merce Cunningham (1919–2009) produced over 800 Events. Each Event comprised a different sequence of excerpts from his repertory, parts of works in progress and new material; all lasted about 90 minutes. They were performed in museums, galleries, gymnasiums, theaters, public squares and on television.
A dance history written from the perspective of art history, this book provides a new approach to understanding Cunningham’s innovative format. Claire Bishop, professor at the CUNY Graduate Center, argues that the Events anticipate a contemporary culture of curating and remixing, while providing an ideal lens for tracing the Merce Cunningham Dance Company’s history. In closing, she returns to the question of dance in museums, and what the Events open up in terms of spectatorship and contemporary developments in choreography.”
