Terpsichore in Sneakers : Post-Modern Dance

Sally Banes

description

"Terpsichore in Sneakers is the first full-scale discussion of the artists who have made post-modern dance today's pre-eminent choreographic movement. Banes traces post-modernernism's origins in the work of Merce Cunningham and of Ann Halprin, its explosion at that Judson Dance Theatre of the early '60s, and its relationship to other avant-garde movements in the arts during the 1960sand '70s including Happenings, pop and minimal art and related developments in the visual arts, theatre and literature. Ten chapters devoted to Simone Forti, Yvonne Rainer, Steve Paxton, Tirsha Brown, David Gordon, Deborah Hay, Lucinda Childs, Douglas Dunn, Meredith Monk, Kenneth King and to The Grand Union, a collaborative effort." -- from books dust-jacket flap.
