Modern
dance is a form where emotions, feelings and ideas
could be readily expressed, and were more important
than tricks and technical virtuosity. New and
abstract forms in the worlds of music, theatre
and visual art have always influenced modern dancers.
Modern dance has continued to grow and develop over the past 100 years, and many
names have been added to the list of modern dance greats: Paul Taylor, Merce
Cunningham, Katharine Dunham, Alvin Ailey and Twyla Tharp, to name a few. Although
these artists are diverse in their approaches and aesthetic, the common thread
that ties them all together is the creative and individual way in which they
approach art.
