Reviews

Praise for the previous edition: Choice Outstanding Academic Title Reading such intelligent, formidable prose about Ms. Tharp is a joy. --New York Times Not only does Siegel furnish us with highly detailed descriptions of various Tharp works and vivid accounts of particular performances, she also tries to give us a real sense of the creative process as manifested in this particular artist. --Los Angeles Times Siegel provides a wealth of insight into the choreographer's groundbreaking movement vocabulary and its development over four decades. . . . A thoughtful record of Tharp's oeuvre and a must for theater and dance scholars and aficionados. --Publishers Weekly For those of us who experienced these dances live, the book summons images of a heady era in recent dance history. For those who missed these works (even the ephemera), the prose makes us regret our absence. --Dance Magazine Siegel's attention to detail allows the history of Tharp to become a story. She ties Tharp's past to her present work, as well as the evolution of American dance. In so doing, she carves a permanent place for Tharp within written dance history. --Dance Research Journal
