Media Reviews
Editor Selma Jeanne Cohen turned on seven prominent choreographers to write what their art meant to them. Each was to set forth his or her ideas on the modern dance and then to describe what he [or she] would do if commissioned to compose a dance that had to deal with the theme of the Prodigal Son With the help of these pre-established foci, the essays actually amount to a documentary on the modern dance at mid-century as seen by its practitioners.
