William Forsythe

American choreographer William Forsythe, director of the Ballett Frankfurt, has created new terms and direction for classical ballet during the last twenty years. His influence on ballet aesthetics and his work have galvanized dancers and audiences around the world and secured him a commanding presence on the next generation of dancers. The impact of Forsythe's ideas can be compared to that of Nijinksy's choreography for Diaghilev, and his methods resonate with those of the great modern dance radicals Merce Cunningham and Trisha Brown.This issue of the journal Choreography and Dance contains primary source material as well as the perspectives of dance and cultural critics, a complete list of Forsythe's works up to 1998, and previously unpublished rehearsal and performance photographs of rarely seen works.William Forsythe, was published 2000 under ISBN 9789057551284 and ISBN 9057551284.
