Contents
Summary: Explores sculptural dynamics of the dancer's body. While the sculptor usually has only shape into which he must embody his entire art, the dancer may deal with an infinite number of shapes within a single dance. The dancer is revealed as a sculptor who uses his own body as the medium, molding and transforming himself into forms that lend their force to the eloquence of dance. Includes Excerpts from various dance works.
