Get Up and Dance - Charles D. Tarlton - Bog

An unusual collection of 15 ekphrastic prosimetra (prose + poetry) inspired by dance-works, from a short film by Thomas Alva Edison of Annabelle Moore performing the serpentine dance in 1897, to dances from mid-20th-century movies, to a range of modern dance performances. These prosimetra are a unique blend of critical and didactic exposition, personal anecdote, poetic musing, and, of course, great dance-works. This collection also includes art by Ann Knickerbocker.
