About this title

About the Author:

Sally Banes is the Marian Hannah Winter Professor Emerita of Theater History and Dance Studies at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Her many books include Reinventing Dance in the 1960s, Terpsichore in Sneakers, Dancing Women, Democracy’s Body, and Greenwich Village 1963.

Review:

"Banes is one of the major dance critics and historians of our time. She explores a wide range of artistic and cultural issues--from experimental art to disco dancing to ballet dancing for elephants--in prose as engaging as it is erudite. Experiencing her mind, as many serious lovers of dance will agree, is a heady experience."--Deborah Jowitt, New York University, author of "Time and the Dancing Image"

""Before, Between, Beyond" maps two paths simultaneously: that of Sally Banes's personal evolution from a young reporter covering contemporary dance at the start of the dance boom of the early 1970s through the full establishment of contemporary dance late in the twentieth century, teamed with her transition into the pioneering dance historian of postmodern dance."--Janice Ross, Stanford University, author of "Moving Lessons"
