Reviews

"This remarkable collection reconfirms Marcia B. Siegel's stature as one of our most penetrating observers of dance. Ranging from Diaghilev to Balanchine, Forsythe, and Tharp, it masterfully explores issues of history, reinvention, and artistic change in the world of twentieth-century ballet, while evoking memorable artists and performances." LYNN GARAFOLA, author of Diaghilev's Ballets Russes"
