The story of this groundbreaking summer dance program is told through the voices of staff; faculty; and students. Administrative director Mary Josephine Shellyrsquo;s previously unpublished writings form a key summary of eight of the nine summer sessions. The Bennington School of the Dance held classes from 1934 through 1942 at Bennington College in Vermont; with one summer spent at Mills College in California. Its effects were far-reaching in the development and dissemination of modern dance as an original American art form. The school produced unique choreographic works by teachers in residence: Martha Graham; Hanya Holm; Doris Humphrey; and Charles Weidman. Leading choreographers of the later 20th century such as Merce Cunningham; Anna Halprin; Joseacute; Limoacute;n; Alwin Nikolais and Anna Sokolow participated at the school. The largest portion of students were high school and college level teachers who would spread modern dance across the country and abroad.

A must read for any artist with a cameraBy Paul A PavotVisual Alchemy; the new release by artist Catherine McIntyre; fills a void in the world of photography books. As photographers; there are thousands of books on subject matter (wedding; portrait; landscape; etc.) and hundreds of books on the use of Photoshop and other digital manipulation programs. In my search I have found few books that bridge the gap to help photographers take their work far beyond into the realm of imagination. Visual Alchemy fills that gap. Catherines book shows you what your work can become from an artists perspective. This is not a beginner book for photographers and Photoshop users; but more so a master class in becoming an artist that uses both. Filled with hundreds of examples; this book will inspire and deepen your curiosity as to what you can do with your images. The images she provides have a haunting beauty to them that possess a nostalgic; yet futuristic feel. I strongly recommend this book to any photographer that wants to go beyond the capture of images and into the creation of works of art. Other helpful sources that I have found include John Paul Caponigros Adobe Photoshop Master Class and Cina Stanick Youngs The New Masters of Photoshop.Shipping of the book was very prompt; no problems. Go out and buy this book!4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. A book to use and return toBy Kathryn PiggWe are familiar with complaints about digital manipulation and its misuse to misinform. This book is about the use of digital programs to expand the artists ability to speak a visual language that expresses the greater and deeper world. There are visual examples to move one forward; as well as technical information and ideas. As an artist new to this medium Im excited to include this book as part of my everyday practice and my bookshelf of resources.

Love it; with thanks :-)By Glory BocsThis is exquisite; a delight for photographers voyeurs of art/ surrealism/ photoshop/ symbolic interest. Not unlike Catherine MacIntyres work each page overfolds underlays with visually stimulating images text that offers an insight into how the artist works and how one can begin to explore advanced digital imagery techniques styles.I adore it.............superb :-)
