A determined plea for support of the art of dance,
By
This review is from: Dance As Education: Towards A National Dance Culture (Falmer Press Library on Aesthetic Education Series) (Paperback)
"Culture is under siege everywhere, it seems. . . . Brinson provides a determined, if often flawed, plea for support for the art of dance in Great Britain in the face of all-too-familiar financial woes. While much of his case rests on circumstances peculiar to Britain, his arguments are of interest to Americans facing similar challenges. . . . [His] detailed observations on British cultural life remind us that the attack on art is not peculiarly American. And [his] valiant, though flawed, attempts to defend dance remind us of the need for more persuasive evidence to sway the unconverted." -- from my review for the Journal of Aesthetic Education, Vol. 27 (Summer 1993), pp. 115-117.
