For more than half a century, dancer and choreographer Anna Halprin has explored the potential of dance to meet the needs of the individual and the community. In this book, she traces her entire career, from her return to the natural environment, through collective projects responding to social upheaval, to rituals with people facing illness. Interviews, manifestos, workshop reports and numerous scores constitute a major historical document and a great source of inspiration.

A French translation of Anna Halprin’s Moving Toward Life: 5 Decades of Transformational Dance, edited by Rachel Kaplan, by Élise Argaud and Denise Luccioni.
