In Conversation: An Icon of Modern Dance

In Conversation: An Icon of Modern Dance

Author:
Daniel E. Lewis, Donna H. Krasnow, Madeleine M. Nichols
Add to my watchlist

A comprehensive examination of a decades-long career, Daniel Lewis: A Life in Choreography and the Art of Dance is the autobiography of a hugely influential choreographer and teacher of modern dance. Gracefully leaping from Lewis’ time as a soloist with modern master José Limón through his evolution into a sought-after choreographer, respected instructor, and champion of the art, the book offers a rare insider’s view of the dance world that possesses an appeal beyond the borders of the stage. Candidly speaking to it all is Lewis and his co-author and frequent collaborator Donna Krasnow, joined by Madeleine Nichols, curator of the Dance Collection at the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts at Lincoln Center.

Daniel E. Lewis

Buy Book
Daniel E. Lewis was a teacher and assistant director of the Dance Division at the Juilliard School for twenty years; dean of dance at New World School of the Arts; a soloist with master modern dancer José Limón (1962-1974) and artistic director of the Limón Company (1972-1974) and staging Limón’s choreography on major companies around the world. Daniel Lewis: A Life in Choreography and the Art of Dance (McFarland) explores the legacy of a hugely influential choreographer and teacher of modern dance. It showcases the many roles Lewis played in the dance world by organizing his story around various aspects of his work as dancer, choreographer, educator and arts administrator. Lewis’ biography gives insight into how the artistic and journalistic perspectives on modern dance were influenced by what was occurring in the broader dance and arts communities. Jennifer Dunning, author and dance writer for the New York Times, called it “a unique blend of autobiography, a relatively unexamined recent dance history, and what goes into performing, choreographing and dance administration.”
