"Fifty Contemporary Choreographers" provides a unique guide to some of today's most important dance-makers. The range of entries is impressively broad, spanning ballet, 'contemporary' and post-modern dance, and has an international scope. Each entry locates each choreographer's style and influence within the development of contemporary dance and includes: a biographical section; a chronological list of works; a detailed bibliography; and a critical essay. The choreographers discussed include: Michael Clark; Merce Cunningham; Mark Morris; Anne Teresa; De Keersmaeker; and Twyla Tharp.
