{"product_id":"the-borzoi-book-of-modern-margaret-lloyd-9781163139448","title":"The Borzoi Book Of Modern Dance","description":"The Borzoi Book of Modern Dance is a comprehensive guide to the history and development of modern dance. Written by Margaret Lloyd, a renowned dance critic and historian, the book covers the origins of modern dance in the early 20th century, its evolution through the mid-century, and its current state. The book is divided into three parts. Part one focuses on the pioneers of modern dance, including Isadora Duncan, Martha Graham, and Doris Humphrey. It explores their individual styles and contributions to the art form, as well as the social and cultural contexts in which they worked. Part two looks at the mid-century period, when modern dance began to incorporate elements of other dance forms, such as ballet and jazz. Lloyd discusses the work of choreographers like Merce Cunningham, Alvin Ailey, and Paul Taylor, and examines the ways in which they expanded the vocabulary and possibilities of modern dance. In part three, Lloyd considers the contemporary landscape of modern dance, including the rise of postmodernism and the emergence of new styles and techniques. She also looks at the role of modern dance in popular culture and its ongoing relevance as an art form. Throughout the book, Lloyd provides detailed analysis of key works and choreographers, as well as insights into the creative process and the challenges facing modern dancers and choreographers. The Borzoi Book of Modern Dance is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history and evolution of this dynamic and influential art form.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
