Reprint, First Printing "The Shape of Change is an examination of what is specifically American about our choreographic heritage, both classical and modern, as it has developed over the past fifty years. Not a history in the conventional sense, this book looks at the development of American dance through the themes our choreographers have chosen to explore and the forms and styles of movement they created. Siegel analyzes more than forty landmark dances, relating the works to their social and historical context. . . . The Shapes of Change is a revolutionary book by one of the most important dance critics on the contemporary scene" [from the dust jacket] ISBN: 0520042034 Book is in Fine/As New Condition: pages bright, clean, tight, and unmarked.
