"When I learned about improvisation from Anna, it was like
receiving the other half of the hemisphere. Without improvisation I
would not have developed the work that I'm doing."--Trisha Brown
"Anna Halprin--who, with her husband, the architect Lawrence
Halprin, is considered to be the wellspring of what we call
postmodern dance--has spent most of her long life shattering rules,
conventions, expectations, and long-cherished ideals like so many
porcelain teacups. . . . In this new cultural history and
intellectual biography, Janice Ross has unscrolled a story--with
her subject's full collaboration--that continuously reveals and
surprises. It is a groundbreaking achievement in dance scholarship,
commensurate with the work of Sally Banes, the scholar of
postmodern dance to whom this book is affectionately
dedicated."--Mindy Aloff, author of "Dance Anecdotes"
"This book is an eye-opener. It is fascinating to learn about the
different creative periods in Anna Halprin's life, from her
involvement with Jewish identity and culture, dance education, and
Bauhaus emigres in the thirties and forties to her relationship
with the Beat poets in San Francisco, her influential summer
workshops, and her exploration of ritual and performance from the
fifties to the present."--Mark Franko, author of "Excursion for
Miracles: Paul Sanasardo, Donya Feuer and Studio for Dance
(1955-1964)"
"Janice Ross has done a masterful job of capturing the life, work,
and impact of the little midwestern woman whose influence shaped
the dance revolutions of the 1960s and 1970s, and whose greatest
accomplishment may have been 'finding dance culture where no one
else had looked.' Ross illuminates the West Coastroots of
postmodernism, and outlines Halprin's accomplishments as a healer,
which are still accruing after more than sixty years."--Elizabeth
Zimmer, dance critic and editor
