7/26/06 New Book by Cheryl Pallant!!!  "Author, Cheryl Pallant is a dancer, dance critic, and teacher at the University of Richmond and Virginia Commonwealth University... In this book Cheryl draws upon her own experience and research to explain the art of contact improvisation... The text begins with a history, then describes the elements that define this form of dance. Subsequent chapters explore how contact improvisation relates to self and identity; how class, race, gender, culture and physiology influence dance; how dance promotes connection in a culture of isolation; and how it relates to the concept of community. The final chapter is a collection of exercises explained in the words of teachers from across the United States and abroad. Appendix A describes how to set up and maintain a weekly jam; Appendix B details recommended reading, videos and Web sites." -McFarland Publishing
