Reviews for Reinventing Dance in the 1960s: Everything Was Possible
This thoughtful collection of essays edited by Sally Banes, the preeminent historian of U.S. dance at mid-century, looks back at that tumultuous decade from a multiplicity of new perspectives. - Lynn Garafola, Barnard College; ""With the wave of interest Baryshnikov has cultivated in the 1960s, this scems exactly the right time to look again at the aesthetics and accomplishments of this era. And if I could choose any guide for this journey, it would be Sally Banes. She has claimed this fertile territory as her own, illuminating the dances of this era while meticulously grounding her discussion in American culture and the social turmoil of the 1960s."" - David Gere, University of California, Los Angeles; ""People who write about experimental dance in the 1960s often stress its conceptual nature, its ideas, but what I liked so much... was the human immediacy.... What you saw was not a metaphor. It was them, and when it worked, it was you too."" - Mikhail Baryshnikov, from the foreword
