Introduction to Modern Dance Techniques Joshua Legg Bringing together all of the major modern dance techniques from the last 80 years, this engaging account is the first of its kind. The informative discussion starts by mapping the historical development of modern dance: in the late 19th century, a new dance emerged -- not yet known as modern dance -- that rejected social strictures and ballet as well. With insight into the personalities and purposes of modern dance’s vanguard -- including Martha Graham, Lester Horton, José Limón, and Merce Cunningham -- this compilation provides a comparative approach that will enable students to discern which technique best suits them and dispel the idea that there is a single, universal modern dance technique. There are also ideas for experimentation so that students can begin developing an aesthetic sense for not only what is pleasing to their artistic eye, but also for what technical ideas are exciting while their own body is in motion. Sample syllabi are included for teachers to incorporate the text into courses. PB 9780871273253 £30.99 January 2011 Princeton Book Co. 272 pages 39 b/w photos & 71 line drawings

Makers of Modern Dance in Germany Isa Partsch-Bergsohn This is the story of the founders of modern dance in Germany: Rudolf Laban, Mary Wigman, and Kurt Joos, whose work in the first half of the 20th century paralleled the independent development of modern dance in America—without being influenced by it. Laban is credited as being the most important innovator and guiding force and is best known as the inventor of Labanotation, a symbolic language for describing movement. Wigman became Laban's student in 1913 at a time when he was earning a reputation as an inspired choreographer and movement director.
