This collection of new essays explores connections between dance,
modernism, and modernity by examining the ways in which leading
dancers have responded to modernity. Burt and Huxley examine dance
examples from a period beginning just before the First World War
and extending to the mid-1950s, ranging across not only mainland
Europe and the United States but also Africa, the Caribbean, the
Pacific Asian region, and the UK. They consider a wide range of
artists, including Akarova, Gertrude Colby, Isadora Duncan,
Katherine Dunham, Margaret H'Doubler, Hanya Holm, Michio Ito, Kurt
Jooss, Wassily Kandinsky, Margaret Morris, Berto Pasuka, Uday
Shankar, Antony Tudor, and Mary Wigman. The authors explore
dancers' responses to modernity in various ways, including within
the contexts of natural dancing and transnationalism. This
collection asks questions about how, in these places and times,
dancing developed and responded to the experience of living in
modern times, or even came out of an ambivalence about or as a
reaction against it. Ideal for students and practitioners of dance
and those interested in new modernist studies, Dance, Modernism,
and Modernity considers the development of modernism in dance as an
interdisciplinary and global phenomenon.
