Speaking of Dance tells the story of how choreographers make their dances in their own words. The author has interviewed twelve distinguished and innovative American choreographers and presents in-depth conversations that focus specifically on the art of dance. The interviewees include Merce Cunningham, Meredith Monk, Bill T. Jones, Mark Morris, and Trisha Brown. The questions bring to light these masters' sources, motivations, and processes; their emotional vicissitudes; and their practical concerns in making dances. Taken cumulatively, their commentaries expose historical trends, yet their individual creative perspectives reveal a striking variety of concerns.
Speaking of Dance: Twelve Contemporary Choreographers on Their Craft delves into the choreographic processes of some of America's most engaging and revolutionary dancemakers. Based on personal interviews, the book's narratives reveal the methods and quests of, among others, Merce Cunningham, Meredith Monk, Bill T. Jones, Trisha Brown, and Mark Morris. Morgenroth shows how the ideas, craft, and passion that go into their work have led these choreographers to disrupt known forms and expectations. The history of dance in the making is revealed through the stories of these intelligent, articulate, and witty dance masters.
