“Margery Turner has provided us with a straight-forward and a well-conceived manual on what is happening with the ‘nonliteral’ dance in America. . . . Special attention is given to the works of Alwin Nikolais, Merce Cunningham, Sybil Shearer, Erick Hawkins, Murray Lewis and Paul Taylor. . . . This work packs a good deal of solid information and professional awareness.”
