The dance criticism of Arlene Croce.
Author: Strauss, Marc Raymond Published: 2005 Through her critiques for The New Yorker, Arlene Croce confirmed a classical aesthetic framework for dance, influencing contemporary critics as well as audiences. This book explores that framework and analyses the biographical, professional, and historical elements that contributed to the context of Croce's work. The author reproduces ten of Croce's essays, and comments on and analyses them. (It should be pointed out that despite the price, this is a 200 page paperback.) |
