Helene Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Mark Franko, Dance Editor of The Massachusetts Review, sent out an email "to offer you here a sneak preview of Ariel Osterweis’s forthcoming book, Body Impossible: Desmond Richardson and the Politics of Virtuosity. This excerpt is from the book’s introduction, and it will be out in in April 2024 as part of the Studies in Dance Theory book series at Oxford University Press." From the excerpt, Quote Body Impossible: Desmond Richardson and the Politics of Virtuosity responds to the need for rigorous theoretical investigation of virtuosity in dance and performance studies. To that end, this book is not a biography and is, instead, a project focused on cultures and theories of performance, with Richardson’s artistry at the center of its inquiry. I assume the hardcover, priced at $125, is targeted for libraries, but amazon and Barnes & Noble also have the paperback @$39.95, with free shipping for both, and are taking pre-orders. Local independents are as well; prices may vary. Link to comment
