Louis Horst: Dance and Music in American Dance Modernism
Abstract
Pianist, musical director, composer, but most of all theorist, Louis Horst was a pivotal figure of American modern dance and influenced generations of dancers and choreographers. A passionate advocate of the close relationship between dance and music, through this duo he identified the principles of a new discipline: dance composition. This discipline outlined the guidelines of the creative practice of a choreographic genre that embodied a renewed, authentically American way of understanding dance.
