Through the Eyes of a Dancer: Selected Writings

Through the Eyes of a Dancer: Selected Writings

Through the Eyes of a Dancer compiles the writings of noted dance critic and editor Wendy Perron. In pieces for The SoHo Weekly News, Village Voice, The New York Times, and Dance Magazine, Perron limns the larger aesthetic and theoretical shifts in the dance world since the 1960s. She surveys a wide range of styles and genres, from downtown experimental performance to ballets at the Metropolitan Opera House. In opinion pieces, interviews, reviews, brief memoirs, blog posts, and contemplations on the choreographic process, she gives readers an up-close, personalized look at dancing as an art form. Dancers, choreographers, teachers, college dance studentsâ€”and anyone interested in the intersection between dance and journalismâ€”will find Perronâ€™s probing and insightful writings inspiring. Through the Eyes of a Dancer is a nuanced microcosm of danceâ€™s recent globalization and modernization that also provides an opportunity for new dancers to look back on the traditions and styles that preceded their own.
