Synopsis
This volume traces the activity of dance from its earliest beginnings to its current form on the stages of the modern western world. The book places dance within its cultural context, and shows how complex formal techniques and creative theories have developed. The contributions of major choreographers and performers are set against the background of period styles and the historical processes which influenced them, and the issues of psychology and physiology which dance involves are given consideration. Each section is followed by questions which point out key topics.
