Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
A captivating illustrated autobiography of the early years of a major American choreographer.Both as a dancer and a choreographer, Jos Limn electrified audiences from the1930s to the 1960s. With his striking looks and charismatic presence, he was American modern dance's first male star. Born in Culiacn, Mexico, in 1908, the eldest of twelve children, he came to the United States when he was seven. In 1928, after a year at UCLA as an art major, he left for New York. Here, he attended his first modern dance concert and discovered his destiny.He spent the 1930s with the HumphreyWeidman group. Then, in the 1940s, after a stint in the army, and with Doris Humphrey as artistic advisor, he formed one of the outstanding modern dance companies of the postwar era. His greatest works The Moor's Pavane, La Malinche, The Traitor, A Choreographic Offering, There is a Time, Missa Brevis extolled a humanism that endeared them to audiences the world over. Although Limn died in 1972, all these dances remain in the Limn Dance Company's active repertory.This memoir was commissioned by Wesleyan University Press in the late 1960s. Left unfinished at the time of Limn's death, it stands on its own as a Joycean account of the coming of age of an unusually perceptive dance artist. Limn writes with eloquence of his Mexican childhood. And of the numerous figures he memorializes, from Martha Graham to Jos Covarrubias, none is more luminously evoked than Doris Humphrey, the 'goddess,' 'nymph,' and 'caryatid' of his life. Sensitively edited by Lynn Garafola, the book includes a complete list of Limn's works, richly informative notes, rare photographs, and a detailed bibliography. This is the single most important book on Limn and a riveting memoir of modern dance during its golden age
