Moving history/Dancing cultures, a dance history reader.
Author: Dils, Ann & Ann Cooper Albright Published: 2001 This new collection of essays surveys the history of dance in an innovative and wide-ranging fashion. The editors address the current dearth of comprehensive teaching material in the dance history field through the creation of a multifaceted, non-linear, yet well-structured and comprehensive survey of select moments in the development of both American and world dance. The reader is organised into four thematic sections: Thinking about dance history, theories and practices; world dance traditions; America dancing; contemporary dance, global contexts. |
