Drawing of the postmodern perspective and concerns that informed her groundbreaking Terpsichore in Sneakers, Sally Banes’s Writing Dancing documents the background and developments of avant-garde and popular dance, analyzing individual artists, performances, and entire dance movements. With a sure grasp of shifting cultural dynamics, Banes shows how postmodern dance is integrally connected to other oppositional, often marginalized strands of dance culture, and considers how certain kinds of dance move from the margins to the mainstream.Banes begins by considering the act of dance criticism itself, exploring its modes, methods, and underlying assumptions, and examining the work of other critics. She traces the development of contemporary dance from the early work of such influential figures as Merce Cunningham and George Balanchine to such contemporary choreographers as Molissa Fenley, Karole Armitage, and Michael Clark. She analyzes the contributions of the Judson Dance Theatre a
Editorial : From School Library Journal Banes (theater and drama, Univ. of Wisconsin) has been writing about dance for 20 years. Her Terpsichore in Sneakers: Post-Modern Dance (1979) was groundbreaking in its serious treatment of contemporary, avant-garde dance, a subject she continues to investigate in this rich collection of published and unpublished pieces. Together, the offerings chart the evolution of Banes as a dance critic and the evolution of contemporary dance. They are divided into five sections and range from Ballet Suedois to Merce Cunningham and Marcel Duchamp to breakdancing to Latina choreographers. Banes's observations are ever astute and thought-provoking. Recommended for dance collections in public, academic, and special libraries.Joan Stahl, National Museum of American Art, Washington, D.C.

There is no basic science in it, there is no history like some other reviewer claimed, and what facts there are, are given with no examples and no context. Price was great, shipping was great.. Poole is a story of love, friendship, infidelity, and plenty of life issues. I am not happy with this book. As I turned the pages, I saw one black and white photo after another. at the numerous editing errors. You probably can't even get the little one to sit long enough to try.. Each letter is taught with Nata Romeo's unique and amazing style of artwork. Grabow.
I received a copy of this book for free from the publisher, Splashdown Books. Very comprehensive information. Why he ever had children I will never know as he had little to do with them over his life time. Unfortunately, most of the illustrations in this book look rushed and not well drawn. As always, Donaldson is entertaining and thought provoking. Change can come very quickly: do you fancy buying a fax machine sales busines
