A dynamic celebration of contemporary dance, "Dance Ink: Photographs" features work by some of the finest photographers in the world. These provocative images -- of dancers, choreographers, and performance artists -- were conceived as a duet between artist and photographer, forming a dialogue that plays out in the pages of this extraordinary book. A series of intimate, beautifully written essays on five key choreographers who have shaped contemporary dance -- Merce Cunningham, Paul Taylor, Tyla Tharp, Trisha Brown, and Mark Morris -- lend insight into the distinctive style and personality of each artist.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
This work documents and celebrates contemporary dance in a collection of stunning, sometimes graphic, images and a quintet of essays by dance critic Nancy Dalva on some of today's most important choreographers, i.e., Mark Morris, Twyla Tharp, Merce Cunningham, Trisha Brown, and Paul Taylor. The photographers include Annie Leibovitz, Chris Callis, Joanne Savio, and Andrew Eccles. Dance Ink was an avant-garde, award-winning quarterly published from 1990 to 1996, but this is not a simple "best-of" rehash. Many of the startling photographs are from the pages of the magazine, but others are new and previously unpublished, and all are newly laid-out in an attempt to encompass all the current trends in American dance. This bold, in-your-face visual record of modern movement will best serve dance, performing arts, and photography collections.?Carolyn M. Mulac, Chicago P.L.

Beautiful look at dancers told through photography,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dance Ink (Paperback)
Dancer Ink is a beautiful collection of photographs encompassing a wide range of dancers, photographers, settings and moods. What I liked about it was the theatrical and vivid look at these people told through pictures. There's not much else to be said. Whether you enjoy creative photography, or the interesting images dancers can lend to a picture, you will enjoy this book.
