Contemporary Dance

description

"Contemporary Dance puts in to perspective the genius of American modern dance, explaining the meaning of the incredible variety of these new dances. Such distinguished dancers and choreographers as Lucinda Childs, Merce Cunningham, Laura Dean, Viola Farber, Alwin Nikolais, and Anna Sokolow tell how they work and discuss their ideas about dance. Besides Clive Barnes, critics Don McDonagh, Deborah Jowitt, Michael Kirby, and Dale Harris write incisive essays on modern dance and dancers. Superbly illustrated with almost 300 photographs reproduced in sheet-fed gravure, Contemporary Dance is a record of a great and vital American art, which includes the work of such famous and distinguished artists as Andy Warhol, Robert Rauschenberg, and Robert Morris, who have designed sets and costumes for modern dance. Besides the illustrations and the words of dancers, choreographers, and critics, Contemporary Dance features a monumental chronology of modern dance that lists premiere performances of major works since 1902, together with date and location of performance, names of dancers, accompanists and collaborators - a major reference for all dance lovers." -- publisher's statement.s.
