A renowned choreographer explores the dance of everyday life and
reveals that art-making is as natural as walking down the street
In this sparkling, innovative, fully-illustrated work, world-renowned
choreographer Annie-B Parson translates the components of dance--time,
proximity, space, motion and tone--into text. As we follow Parson
through her days--at home, reading, and on her walks down the
street--and in and out of conversations on everything from Homer's
Odyssey to feminist art to social protest, she helps us see how everyday
movement creates the wider world. Dance, it turns out, is everything and
everywhere.
With the insight and verve of a soloist, Parson shows us how art-making
is a part of our everyday lives and our political life as we move,
together and apart, through space.
