Anna Halprin: A Life's Work

This biography explores the life and work of Anna Halprin, a pioneering dance-maker who has had a profound influence on contemporary performance practice. From her early days with the San Francisco Dancers' Workshop to her current work, Halprin's approach to dance as an accessible and life-enhancing art form is examined in depth.

The book delves into Halprin's connections with the avant-garde theatre, music, visual art, and architecture of the 1950s and 1960s, and investigates her methodology, including the Life/Art Process and RSVP Cycles for Collective Creativity. It also explores her community performance rituals, such as Circle the Earth and The Planetary Dance.
