 History of dance: an interactive arts approach.
Author: Kassing, Gayle Published: 2007 An in-depth look at dance from the dawn of time through to the 20th century. Using an investigative approach, the books presents the who, what, when, where, why, and how of dance history in relation to other arts and to historical, political and social events. In doing so, the text provides a number of ways to create, perceive, and respond to the history of dance through integrated arts and technology. Readers outside the USA, however, should note that the book is virtually entirely American centred, both in terms of dance and political and social events: there are no references at all, for example, to the Royal Ballet, Frederick Ashton, Kenneth MacMillan, Adolf Hitler, or Margaret Thatcher. |
