On Angels and Devils and Stages Between: Contemporary Lives in Contemporary Dance

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."
