Summary: "Kenneth King is one of America's most inventive postmodern choreographers. His dancing has always reflected his interested in language and technology, combining movement with film, machines, lighting and worlds - both spoken and written. King is also conversant in philosophy and some of his most influential dance have been dedicated to and in dialogue with the work of such philosophers as Susanne K. Langer, Edmund Husserl and Friedrich Nietzche. Since the 1960s, he has performed his dance to texts intended to stand separately as literary works. Spanning more than 30 years, this book includes essays, performance scripts, art criticism, philosophy and cultural commentary. Dancing, to King, is "writing in space", and writing is a dance of ideas." (source: Nielsen Book Data)
