Reviews
This work documents and celebrates contemporary dance in a collection of stunning, sometimes graphic, images and a quintet of essays by dance critic Nancy Dalva on some of today's most important choreographers, i.e., Mark Morris, Twyla Tharp, Merce Cunningham, Trisha Brown, and Paul Taylor. The photographers include Annie Leibovitz, Chris Callis, Joanne Savio, and Andrew Eccles. Dance Ink was an avant-garde, award-winning quarterly published from 1990 to 1996, but this is not a simple "best-of" rehash. Many of the startling photographs are from the pages of the magazine, but others are new and previously unpublished, and all are newly laid-out in an attempt to encompass all the current trends in American dance. This bold, in-your-face visual record of modern movement will best serve dance, performing arts, and photography collections.?Carolyn M. Mulac, Chicago P.L.
