"The revolution in movement that developed in the American dance world from the Depression year of 1932 until 1992 was as great or even greater than the earlier movement revolution when the Ballets Russes were the major catalyst for the changes that occurred in dance. In this revealing book David Wood evokes an exciting period of change and describes the roles of the key creative personalities with whom he worked: Martha Graham, Doris Humphrey, Charles Weidman, José Limón, Hanya Holm, Alwin Nikolais, Helen Tamiris, Sophie Maslow, Jane Dudley, William Bales, and Louis Horst."-- Book Cover
