Winner of the 2023 Selma Jeanne Cohen Prize in Dance Aesthetics, awarded by The American Society for Aesthetics, this comprehensive book delves into the rich history of dance's interactions with the visual arts during the mid-twentieth century. Providing a foundation for the emerging field of contemporary, intermedial art practice, it explores the disciplinary identity of dance in dialogue with the visual arts, shedding light on how compositional methods rooted in dance informed the contexts of visual art. By examining historical movements such as Neo-Avant Garde, Neo-Dada, Conceptual art, Postmodernism, and Performance Art, alongside the specific practices and innovations of influential figures like John Cage, Anna Halprin, and Robert Rauschenberg, the book provokes a fresh perspective on the intertwined relationship and historiographic significance of visual arts and dance. Through a series of historical and critical case studies, it demonstrates how compositional approaches from dance, including breath, weight, tone, and energy, influenced the emergence of intermedial practices. Ultimately, this book showcases the profound impact of dance and choreography on visual arts culture, offering valuable insights for scholars, researchers, practitioners, and enthusiasts of dance and visual art alike. Chapter 1 of this remarkable work is freely accessible as a downloadable Open Access PDF under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 4.0 license, allowing for widespread dissemination and exploration.
