RESOURCE 1 Title: Judson Dance Theater: The Work is Never Done By Ana Janevski, Thomas J. Lax Comment: Judson Dance Theater: The Work Is Never Done includes newly commissioned essays that highlight the history of Judson Dance Theater and its legacy in our own time. Review: “Published in conjunction with an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, Judson Dance Theater: The Work Is Never Done highlights the workshop's ongoing significance. The catalog charts the development of Judson, beginning with the workshops and classes led by Anna Halprin, Robert Ellis Dunn and James Waring, and exploring the influence of other figures working downtown such as Simone Forti and Andy Warhol, as well as venues for collective action like Judson Gallery and the Living Theatre. Lushly illustrated with film stills, photographic documentation, reproductions of sculptural objects, scores, music, poetry, architectural drawings and archival material, the publication celebrates the group's multidisciplinary and collaborative ethos as well as the range of its participants.” -Artbook Evolving Laboratory 2 | #DancehistoryL2
RESOURCE 2 Title: New German Dance Studies By Susan Manning, Lucia Ruprecht Comment: In an exquisite trans-Atlantic dialogue that demonstrates the complexity and multilayered history of German dance, American and European scholars and artists elaborate on definitive performers and choreography, focusing on three major thematic areas: Weimar culture and its afterlife, the German Democratic Republic, and recent conceptual trends in theater dance. Review: “Regardless of the areas within which we teach or practice, this book has something valuable to contribute. . . . A remarkable body of work in German dance over the past three centuries.” -Journal of Dance Education Evolving Laboratory 2 | #DancehistoryL2
RESOURCE 3 Title: Looking at Contemporary Dance: A Guide for the Internet Age By Marc Raymond Strauss, Myron Howard Nadel Comment: With a focus on dance innovation from the late 19th century to the present, this history provides dance students with accessible information on the major contributors to the art. Review: "When the authors titled this book Looking at Contemporary Dance: A Guide for the Internet Age, they were being quite literal. Central to the book are 220 search addresses. Useful and up-to-date for teaching dance history and choreography." -Marty Sprague, Journal of Dance Education |

RESOURCE 4 Title: Dancers as Diplomats: American Choreography in Cultural Exchange By Clare Croft Comment: Dancers as Diplomats chronicles the role of dance and dancers in American cultural diplomacy. Review: "Smoothly written with strong, coherent narrative, Dancers as Diplomats confirms the importance of dance in US cultural exchange. Researching across Cold War and Post-9/11 ideologies of nation and cultural diplomacy, Croft demonstrates how the international exposure of American dance remains inextricably bound up with Washington-based political economies. An essential offering for anyone interested in cultural studies, dance history, or international affairs, Dancers as Diplomats proves that performance might always exceed governmental guidelines and intentions." -Thomas F. DeFrantz, Duke University |
