Soloists ignited the modern dance movement and have continued to renew it. These self-fashioned artists represent the individuality inherent in modernism—the arts movement that arose in the late 1800s—and its successor, postmodernism. Omitting well-documented pioneers, eight notable writers examine a roster of iconoclasts, male and female, whose careers shaped cultural attitudes worldwide. The perils and rewards of a soloist's life become clear. The role of government support is also addressed.Less
