Book description

Dance modernism is not only a part of cultural history. It is also, perhaps above all, a multicolored reference for thinking about the dancing body’s past and presence as well as its many practices. Finally, dance modernism is a story of modern longings and anxieties. The story has been constantly re-written, with a growing awareness of its global and collective character. An outcome of a meeting between dance historians and practitioners, this book is an example of said awareness.
