A groundbreaking choreographer, lighting designer, composer, and
costumer, Alwin Nikolais (1910-1993) is recognized as one of the
twentieth century's most innovative artists. Incorporating novel
technological and performance tactics, he invented a total language
of non-literal dance theater that attracted audiences worldwide for
over forty years. The Returns of Alwin Nikolais is the first book
devoted to a critical analysis of Nikolais's work, and it provides
a broad and important overview of his artistic and philosophical
trajectory. The volume brings together essays by scholars of dance
history, theater studies, music, and art history, and includes
primary materials such as reviews, diary excerpts, and photographs.
It is a valuable resource for teachers and students of art and
culture.
