博客來Anna Halprin traces the life’s work of this radical dance-maker, documenting her early career as a modern dancer in the 1940s through to the development of her groundbreaking approach to dance as an accessible and life-enhancing art form. Now revised and reissued, this book:
- sketches the evolution of the San Francisco Dancers’ Workshop, exploring Halprin’s connections with the avant-garde theatre, music, visual art and architecture of the 1950s and 60s
- offers a detailed analysis of Halprin’s work from this period
- provides an important historical guide to a time when dance was first explored beyond the confines of the theatre and considered as a healing art for individuals and communities.
As a first step towards critical understanding, and an initial exploration before going on to further, primary research, Routledge Performance Practitioners offer unbeatable value for today’s student.
