Beschreibung:
Susan Leigh Foster, choreographer and scholar, is the author of numerous books and essays and editor of several anthologies on dance and the body. Three of her danced lectures can be found at the Pew Center for Arts and Heritage website danceworkbook.pcah.us/susan-foster/index.html.
Valuing Dance looks at the occasion when dancing passes from one person to another as an act of exchange, one that is redolent with symbolic meanings, including those associated with its history and all the labor that has gone into its making.
