	EAST MEETS WEST IN DANCE: Voices in the Cross-Cultural Dialogue Edited by Ruth Solomon and John Solomon Over the last few decades a lively dialogue has evolved between dance administrators, teachers, and performers in the United States and Europe and their counterparts in various Asian and Pacific Rim countries. East Meets West in Dance chronicles this development in the words of many of its best known and most active exponents. In the process it 1) deals theoretically with the promises and pitfalls inherent in transplanting art forms from one culture to another, 2) provides practical guidance for those who might want to participate in this enterprise, 3) records in a general way the history of the dance exchange to date, and 4) identifies differences that are unique to specific cultures with regard to such matters as the development of theatrical forms, arts education, and the status of artists. This is a “first of its kind” examination of a phenomenon that has already touched most people in the arts community world-wide, and that none can afford to ignore. 334 pages ORDER FROM: Publisher: Routledge –NY (Taylor & Francis Group) 29 West 35th St. New York, NY, 10001 Tel: (800) 634 7064 Fax: (800) 248 4724 Paper: ISBN 3 7186 5604 3, Price $33.95 Cloth: ISBN 3 7186 5593 4, Price $99.95
