Description: "From the late 1970s to the late 1980s, the performing arts in New Zealand introduced a huge range of forms of creativity which signalled a new vibrancy in New Zealand cultural expression. Limbs Dance Company was at the heart of this cultural awakening with its poignant and challenging dances. New Zealand's dance history has been somewhat overlooked by our historians, until now. This book, the story of Limbs from beginning to end, illuminates a hidden but important chapter in New Zealand's 20th century cultural history and is a welcome addition to the story of our creative, cultural, and social past"--Back cover.
