Contributions from leading scholars take a fresh look at dancers from Yvonne Rainer and Martha Graham to Kazuo Ohno and Kikuo Tomoeda, and directors such as Romeo Castellucci. The first cross-cultural study of its kind, The Aging Body in Dance offers an invaluable resource for scholars and practitioners interested in global dance cultures and their differing responses to the world's aging population.
