Book of the Month
Each month the dansMuseum spotlights a book on dance worth reading. This month's book is:
Het Dansende Lichaam: Klassieke Teksten over Hedendaagse Dans (1994)
Johan Reyniers (Red.)
From the back:
“What drives people to dance, what drives others to put this dance on a stage, to look at it, to consider it art? What can dance (still) mean to us, in an age of virtual images and a disappearing body?”
With twenty-five essays, reflections, interviews and stories Het Dansende Lichaam seeks to blaze a trail “that will allow us to look at a performance less innocently, more armed.”"
*Translated from Dutch
