On Technique provides a fascinating look into the careers and
teaching philosophies of eighteen of the world's most respected
ballet masters, principals, and artistic directors. Author Dean
Speer sat down with prominent ballet pedagogues and asked each a
standard set of questions, including 'What do we mean when we say
someone has beautiful technique?' and 'How did you become a
dancer?'. Featuring such artists as Peter Boal (artistic director
of the Pacific Northwest Ballet) and Bene Arnold (first ballet
mistress of the San Francisco Ballet), this volume offers
fascinating insights into the nature of both performance and
artistic instruction. Speer's approach reveals sometimes surprising
convergences among these world-class talents, despite their varying
pedagogical backgrounds and divisions.
