SynopsisMark Morris is the most exciting and important choreographer to have emerged in the last two decades. Still only in his mid-thirties, Morris has already produced more than eighty dance works, and their originality, brashness, and beauty have made him one of the signature American artists of our time. Morris was born in Seattle in 1956. His Mark Morris Dance Group began performing in New York in 1980. By the mid-eighties, PBS had aired an hour-long special on him, and his work was being presented by America's foremost ballet companies. Morris's dances are a mix of traditionalism and radicalism. They unabashedly address the great themes - love, grief, loneliness, religion, community - yet they are also lighthearted, irreverent, and scabrous. Joan Acocella's probing portrait is the first book on this brilliant and controversial artist. Written with Morris's cooperation, part biography, part critical study, it describes how he has lived and how he turns life - and music and narrative - into dance. It also covers Morris's three years as director of dance at the Royal Opera House in Brussels, where the classical aesthetic and sexual boldness of his dances precipitated an international scandal. Including seventy-eight photographs covering the entire corpus of Morris's work to date, Mark Morris provides an ideal introduction to the life and work of America's leading young choreographer., Mark Morris , written with the choreographer's full cooperation, is part biography, part critical study. It describes how he has lived and how he turns his life - and music, narrative, and tradition - into dance, and it discusses how to look at his dances.
