In their recently published anthology, Dance History(s): Imagination as a Form of Study, choreographers Thomas F. DeFrantz and Annie-B Parson gather a dozen diverse perspectives on the history of dance, each contributed by a working choreographer and all addressing the same question: What is dance history? By handing the authorial microphone to dance artists to serve as our dance historians, the book assembles their embodied lineages, and creates a new prismatic shape for dance history(s). The evening of book readings, with 60-second interstitial dances done by the authors, features a choreographic score by Annie-B Parson in collaboration with fellow choreographer/authors DeFrantz, mayfield brooks, maura nguyễn donohue, Keith Hennessy, Bebe Miller, Okwui Okpokwasili, Eiko Otake, Javier Steel-Frésquez, Ogemdi Ude, Mariana Valencia, and Andros Zins-Browne.
