Product Description
Those who have followed the remarkable career of Meredith Monk for the past 25 years will be surprised to learn that this is the first complete book in English published about this multitalented artist. The welcome compilation brings together significant artist’s writings, interviews, reviews, program notes, articles, and essays. Village Voice dance critic Jowitt (New York Univ.) sifted through published and unpublished materials, much from Monk’s personal collection, to select items for this anthology. Monk’s many sides are reflected in these selections, which assess her work in monolog, dance, video, film, installation art, photography, and music. Monk concisely and eloquently describes her cutting-edge approach: “I work in between the cracks, where the voice starts dancing, where the body starts singing, where theater becomes cinema.”
