A thoughtful and comprehensive Tharp overview!,
This review is from: Howling Near Heaven: Twyla Tharp and the Reinvention of Modern Dance (Hardcover)
As someone who respects Twyla Tharp's career, but who doesn't necessarily revel in all her works, I approached Marcia Siegel's chronicle a little cautiously.

Context, references, and relevant anecdotes from former dancers are terrific.
