Book Synopsis
This work traces the abstraction and anonymity of the bodies making machines dance, in the codes of modernisms graphic and choreographic and in the streamlined gestures of industry, avant-garde art and entertainment.

Trade Review
"In her second book (after Dance Pathologies, 1998), McCarren provides serious scholars a unique and illuminating perspective on early-20th-century European avant-garde." -- Choice
"McCarren's ability to balance and integrate dance history, performance analysis, and textual analysis is rare. She has given us a book that opens up an entirely new perspective on dance modernism." -- The Drama Review
