Summary
"In this cultural history of the internationally celebrated Phoenix Dance Company, Christy Adair interrogates the factors which contributed to the success of the company. This complex narrative, played out through gender, ethnicity and class, locates Phoenix as a significant artistic force in British contemporary dance. This reconsideration of British dance history confronts the Eurocentricism of dance in the late twentieth century and investigates institutional racism on the part of arts policy makers, funders and critics."--Jacket.
