In "Dance, Modernity and Culture," Helen Thomas provides an
original, interdisciplinary, approach to the study of dance. By
examining the development of modern dance in the US during the
inter-war period she develops a framework for analyzing dance from
a sociological perspective.
In applying her approach to the works of St Denis, Ted Shawn, and
Martha Graham, amongst others, she relates the emergence of modern
dance to contemporaneous artistic developments, and locates dance
within a wider social and economic context. Thus, she draws
attention to the importance of popular culture in the development
of modern dance, music and painting, and the crucial role women
played in establishing dance as an art form. By way of
exemplification, she looks at the work of Yvonne Rainer in order to
demonstrate how this sociological approach might be applied to a
post-modern work.
"Dance, Modernity and Culture" explores an area of art practice
that has long been marginalized by sociologists of art. As an
important contribution to dance scholarship this book will be
essential reading for all those interested in the performing arts.
