Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"This book counters the monolithic notions of who the ‘postmodern’ dancers are. As
Lamb at the Altar identifies the contemporary work of an artist usually associated with the Judson Dance Theater of the 60s it reveals someone who has evolved, gained a new but no less creative maturity, and who now sees her work very differently than in those old days of protest and rebellion. The intertextual format is engaging, multifaceted, and modern, probably like the dance itself."—Marcia B. Siegel, author of
Tail of the Dragon: New Dance, 1976–1982 "This is a remarkable and wonderful text whose publication will benefit the dance community enormously. It contributes crucial new dimensions to the process of documenting both dancing and dance-making. It breaks new ground as writing about the choreographic process, and at the same time, it reflects beautifully on the work of an exceptional artist."—Susan L. Foster, author of
