The Wise Body

This book offers: new angle - the mature dancer; authentic voice of the performer; historic sweep; cultural diversity; and, international potential. This book features a unique set of interviews with dancers, from different cultural backgrounds, who have continued to perform well beyond the conventional retirement age for dancers. The interviews challenge widely held prejudices about dance and age and hold illuminating observations from practitioners with 30, 40 or 50 years' experience of the dancer's life.
