Reviews
Cunningham presented his first dance performance in 1942 and in subsequent years established himself as one of the most important and influential figures in modern dance. That no critical biography or monograph has been written on him and his work both is a disappointment and an unfortunate oversight. Kostelanetz, author of numerous books, including The Theatre of Mixed Means ( LJ 8/68), here compiles thoughtful newspaper reviews, journal articles, and essays. Contributors include Edwin Denby, Marcia B. Siegel, Arlene Croce, John Cage, Kenneth King, and many others. Together they provide an overview of critical response to Cunningham, as well as a bird's-eye view of the development of serious dance writing. A handy feature is a chronology of Cunningham's works. Because tracking down the original sources of these writings would be time-consuming, and because certain insights are gleaned from reading each in the context here, the book is a useful addition to public and academic libraries and to specialized arts collections.
