Zusammenfassung:"The first critical biography of Ted Shawn, the dance legend and self-proclaimed "Father of American Dance" who helped transform dance from a national pastime in theatrical art. The book takes an in-depth look in Shawn's pioneering role in the formation of the first American modern dance company and school, the first all-male dance company, and Jacob's Pillow, the internationally renowned dance festival and school located in the Berkshires. Scolieri explores Shawn's writings and dances in relation to the emerging discourses of modernism, eugenics and social evolution, revealing an untold story about the ways that Shawn's homosexuality informed his choreographic vision."--
