Summary

Wayne Heisler Jr addresses ‘song-ballets’ from the 1960s and 70s, choreography set to Lieder by Gustave Mahler, in order to explore inter-relationships between music, dance and the written word. He pursues the historical implications of his subject matter, considering social, cultural and philosophical discourses, and their appeals to music and the body with an aim to expanding interpretive pathways, suggesting ways in which dance can refuel Mahler’s music, repurposing its expressive vocabulary. Through critical readings of both live and recorded performances, Heisler suggests the resonance of Mahler’s danced songs with the composer’s biography and musical personality, as well as their impact on characterization, drama and musical structure. In doing so, Heisler acknowledges the inter-disciplinary methods underpinning his analysis, noting in particular the relevance of both performance studies and phenomenology.
