Description
From bomber pilot to lifelong dancer, Stuart Hodes' memoir is a rare firsthand view of the dance world in the 20th century. He recounts his chance discovery of Martha Graham's studio and how it led him to become one of her dancers.
Hodes shares his experiences, travels, passions, and loves as he learned from and performed with Graham, describing the daily ritual of deeply physical dancing and the never-ending search for artistic validity. With directness, humour, and authenticity, Hodes reveals his delight in dance as both hard work and a fantastic adventure.
