It's Bobbie's thirty-fifth birthday party, and all her friends are
wondering why she isn't married. Why can't she find the right man,
settle down and start a family? A breakthrough on Broadway in 1970,
Company is Stephen Sondheim and George Furth's legendary musical
comedy about life, love and loneliness, featuring some of
Sondheim's most iconic songs including 'Company', 'You Could Drive
a Person Crazy', 'The Ladies Who Lunch', 'Side by Side' and 'Being
Alive'. The acclaimed West End revival in 2018 was conceived and
directed by award-winning director Marianne Elliott and produced by
Elliott & Harper Productions. Reimagining the musical by
switching the gender of several characters, including the
protagonist Bobbie, played by Rosalie Craig, the production also
starred Patti LuPone, Mel Giedroyc and Jonathan Bailey. It won the
Peter Hepple Award for Best Musical at the 2018 Critics' Circle
Theatre Awards. This edition features the complete revised book and
lyrics for the production, colour production photographs, and an
introduction by Sondheim's biographer David Benedict.
Music-Dance explores the identity of choreomusical work, its
complex authorship and its modes of reception as well as the
cognitive processes involved in the reception of dance performance.
Scholars of dance and music analyse the ways in which a musical
score changes its prescriptive status when it becomes part of a
choreographic project, the encounter between sound and motion on
stage, and the intersection of listening and seeing. As well as
being of interest to musicologists and choreologists considering
issues such as notation, multimedia and the analysis of
performance, this volume will appeal to scholars interested in
applied research in the fields of cognition and neuroscience. The
line-up of authors comprises representative figures of today's
choreomusicology, dance historians, scholars of twentieth-century
composition and specialists in cognitive science and performance
studies. Among the topics covered are multimedia and the analysis
of performance; the notational practice of choreographers and the
parallel attempts of composers to find a graphic representation for
musical gestures; and the experience of dance as a paradigm for a
multimodal perception, which is investigated in terms of how the
association of sound and movement triggers emotions and specific
forms of cognition.
