4.0 out of 5 stars
Good book on the life of Doris Humphrey,
By Dr. Lee D. Carlson (Baltimore, Maryland USA) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Doris Humphrey: An Artist First (Paperback)
Those interested in and learning the infamous Humphrey-Weidman technique in modern dance get a good overview of the life of Doris Humphrey. The book also has many photos of this incredibly beautiful woman, who not only originated one of the most original techniques of modern dance in the 20th century, but also was a dance theoreticain/philosopher. The only disappointing aspect of the book was that one interested in the influence of the philosopher Friedrich Neitzsche on her dance technique will find only a brief discussion. But the book is fascinating reading, and after reading it one feels even more admiration for this remarkable woman and dancer.
