| Publisher Description: "The breadth and depth of the editors' experiences is evident. . . . The common thread is the premise that solo dance artists can and have shaped cultural attitudes. . . . the collection addresses substantive questions and illuminates the ongoing significance of solo dance as an aspect of modern dance history."--Choice "On Stage Alone is broad in its scope...a welcome addition to dance literature."--Michelle Potter on Dancing "Diverse in both the artists considered and research approaches utilized, this thoughtful and engaging collection of essays enriches the growing body of dance scholarship by introducing us to the works of an array of daring and creative solo dance artists."--Linda Caruso Haviland, Bryn Mawr College "Providing a broad examination of the solo that spans the twentieth century, the expertly curated essays in this volume bring to light specific soloists' work while also reflecting larger trends in concert dance and interrogating issues of aesthetics, performativity, gender, race, and nation. It is a welcome addition to the field."--Hannah Kosstrin, Reed College |
