Footnotes: Six Choreographers Inscribe the Page

Elena Alexander; Douglas Dunn; Kenneth King; Marjorie Gamso; Ishmael Houston-Jones; Yvonne Meier; Sarah Skaggs

Synopsis:
Bringing together essays by three generations of post-Cunningham dancers and choreographers, this anthology of writings about modern dance engages themes of body representation, performance, and the ordering of space through bodily movement. At the same time, as Elena Alexander points out in her commentary, writing about dances poses questions of translation from the language of the body moving through space to the written word on the page.
