Tero Saarinen, Finland’s best-known dancer-choreographer on the international scene, didn’t start dancing until he was 16. Over the next years, he forged a spectacular path for himself at the Finnish National Ballet, studied with the Butoh legend Kazuo Ohno in Japan, and became a captivating soloist for the France-based choreographer Carolyn Carlson in Paris. The globally renowned Tero Saarinen Company has performed in over 40 countries, at prestigious venues like the Brooklyn Academy of Music, Royal Festival Hall, Joyce Theater and Walt Disney Concert Hall. The Los Angeles Philharmonic, Ensemble Intercontemporain and the Nederlands Dans Theater are among the many partners to have collaborated with them. All of these productions have been praised for their distinctive movement and choreographic vision, striking visual design and devoted attention to music. Dance journalist Hannele Jyrkkä spent a year following Saarinen in rehearsal halls and at home, as he brought his new choreography Third Practice to life. The Hunter: Tero Saarinen –The Icon of Contemporary Dance is the result of this effort: the first book that tells the story of a sports enthusiast who grew up in exceptional circumstances and catapulted to international fame and iconic status in the world of contemporary dance.
This love needs to be amputated, executed, buried deep underground. The author meets a man. He is married. First, it is about lust, then love. They keep meeting in secret, months turning to years, and making the impossible even worse. This Should End with My Death is a brutally clear and heartbreaking short novel depicting an author who is cutting herself from forbidden love by writing. All the way to the point where there’s no lust to live, neither yet lust to die. Only the words remain, and it’s worth being honest, whatever the cost. Reading This Should End with My Death hurts. But there is also dark humour in undoing clichés that suddenly turn into true experiences.
The title of this encyclopedia origins from a film song composed by Hans May, written by Ernst Neubach and sung by the legendary tenor and actor Joseph Schmidt during their emigration. This specific line resembles the atmosphere many of the people felt who were banished from Germany at that time – especially Jews who fled from the National Socialism and from the home that could no longer be their home. The present work contains around 575 biographies from the emigrated filmmakers. Ten years ago the Hamburger art historian and film scholar Weniger already published the lexicon ‘Das große Personenlexikon des Films’ in eight volumes which nowadays is a recognized standard reference in the field of international film biographies. 2008 the book ‘Zwischen Bühne und Baracke. Lexikon der verfolgten Theater/, Film/ und Musikkünstler 1933 bis 1945‘ followed. The present book is a logical and congenial addition to the last one. The preface is informative and deals with every aspect of the subject in detail. Moreover it outlines the situation of the film artists in the Thirties in Germany and Austria. Weniger also focusses on the effects of the national socialist cultural politics and describes the problems of emigrated artists in their exile countries by using specific examples. Depending on the country they faced very different work conditions. In chapter three Weniger displays the fates of the emigrated film makers. Thereby he describes the most important ones with bio/ and filmographies in detail. Well/known names like Lilian Harvey, Conrad Veidt, Billy Wilder, Elisabeth Bergner and Franz Wachsmann can surely be found in this work. Many still circulating errors could be revealed and eliminated and even more rather unknown facts are given about the time in exile of film makers like Reinhold Schünzel, Franziska Gaal, Richard Eichberg, Detlef Sierck, Curt Goetz oder Ludwig Berger. Even the biographies of people who were rather sporadically active in the field of film, like Berthold Brecht and Victor Barnowsky, receive new and highly interesting aspects. Especially through the introduction of biographies of people, who have never been portrait in so much detail, this book is of particular importance. These people consists of the actors and actresses Josef Almas, Martha Angerstein, Ilse Bois, Grete Freund, Christiane Grautoff, Hilde Jennings, Hannele Meierzak, Lore Mosheim and Hedwig Schlichter, the movie directors Richard Löwenbein and Josef Stein, the documentalist Friedrich Dalsheim, scriptwriters Katrin Holland and Josef Than, the film producer Lothar Stark, as well as the cutters Jean Oser and Mark Sorkin.
