Description

Explore the life and artistic impact of one of the most influential figures in dance history. Merce Cunningham: The Modernizing of Modern Dance by Routledge provides a deep study of the seminal choreographer and dancer. This work goes beyond a standard biography to place Cunningham's life within the context of a century of American art developments. Author Copeland tracks the evolution of Cunningham's work from the late 1960s through the experimental era of the 1980s and 1990s. Readers will learn how Cunningham transformed the medium by moving away from the highly emotional and subjective style of Martha Graham toward a new form of classicism. This book is an essential resource for students, dancers, and historians looking to understand the shift in contemporary dance movements.
