In Ruth Page: The Woman in the Work, the Chicago ballerina emerges as a highly original choreographer who sought the iconoclastic as she transgressed boundaries of genre, gender, race, class, and sexuality in her art. Her works were often controversial—and sometimes censored—even as she succeeded in roles usually reserved for men in the ballet world: choreographer, artistic director, and impresario. From extensive dramaturgical analysis of her most famous ballets—La Guiablesse, Frankie and Johnny, Billy Sunday, Revenge, The Merry Widow, Camille, Carmina Burana, and Alice—to embodied reconstruction of an avant-garde solo performed in a “sack” designed by Isamu Noguchi, this book follows the global reach of Ruth Page’s career spanning the greater part of the twentieth century.
