| Summary, etc. |
" Jane Sherman was a girl of seventeen in the fall of 1925 when she joined the Denishawn dance company on their famous fifteen-month tour of the Far East. She was by far the youngest member of the troupe, which included established artists Ruth St. Densi and TedShawn - the originators of what has come to be known as modern dance - and developing artists Doris Humphrey, Charles Weidman, and Pauline Lawrence, among others.<br/>Throughout the trip Jane, an extremely sensitive and articulate young woman, wrote voluminous letters to he family and kept both a photographic record and a detailed diary of her adventures, impressions, and thoughts. These documents, with their marvellous combination of naivety and innate sophistication, form the major portion of her delightful story and capture the reader.<br/>Soaring (the title borrowed from one of Doris Humphrey's most successful dance creations) is, in sum, several things at once. It is a vivid and often amusing description of what it was like to travel and perform in the Orient fifty years ago, a sharply observed travelogue of exotic places - Japan, China, India, Burma, Ceylon, and Indochina - and of a social atmosphere that has vanished forever. And it is as well an intimate revelation of a young girl's inner dilemmas, doubts, and growth to self-assured maturity under the most unusual and trying circumstances." -- Book Jacket |
