The volume is magisterial in scope, encompassing the history of theatrical dance from 1900 through 2000. Beginning with turn-of-the-century dancer-choreographers like Loie Fuller, Isadora Duncan, Michel Fokine, and a bit later Vaslav Nijinsky, and proceeding through the profusion of dance styles performed today, the book provides an unparalleled view of dance in performance as it changed and grew in the twentieth century. Nancy Reynolds and Malcolm McCormick set dance in broader cultural and historical contexts, examine specific dance works, and explore the contributions of outstanding choreographers, performers, visual artists, impresarios, composers, critics, and other figures. They discuss the breakaway barefoot dance of the early 1900s and demonstrate its links with later forms and styles. With unusual detail, fascinating illustrations, and wide-ranging insights, this book is an indispensable guide to the transformations in the dance scene of the twentieth century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nancy Reynolds, Malcolm McCormick\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300259328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300259322\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/09\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 928\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 7.40w x 1.80d","brand":"Nancy Reynolds","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44045487800575,"sku":"9780300259322","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_af489de1-5601-4b5b-840f-4a993ef23327.jpg?v=1684979049","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/no-fixed-points-nancy-reynolds-9780300259322","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
