 Liebe Hanya: Mary Wigman's letters to Hanya Holm.
Author: Wigman, Mary Published: 2004 Mary Wigman's groundbreaking choreography and inspired performances in Germany during the 1910s and 1920s placed modern dance on equal footing with modern painting, theatre, and film. Her disciple Hanya Holm took Wigman's philosophy of expressive individualism to the United States in 1931, adapting it to the American temperament through her teaching, concert works, and choreographer of Broadway musicals. Written between 1920 and 1971, Wigman's letters to Holm bring to life an unusually durable and productive friendship that survived a love triangle, business partnership, and long separation by war and politics. |
