Synopsis:
A wide variety of writing is included in this anthology, from the practical criticism of Arlene Croce and David Denby to the more scholarly work of Rudoloph Arnheim, Suzanne Langer, and Havelock Ellis. The collection is divided into seven sections: What is Dance?; the Dance Medium; Dance and the Other Arts; Genre and Style; Language, Notation, and Identity; Dance Criticism; and Dance and Society.
From the Back Cover: Here is the most comprehensive and best-organized anthology of dance writings ever assembled. The sixty essays here have been selected not only because they represent the work of the finest dance writers in America and Europe but also for the particular questions they pose about the definition of dance, the ways in which dance conveys meaning, the relationship of dance to the other arts, and much more.
