Críticas:

"Through examining the 'other, ' one learns about one's own culture, values, and aesthetics. . . Sondra's book allows us to do this, because of her subject, remarkable insights, and captivating writing style." --Joan Laage, Artistic Director of Dappin' Butoh "Should inspire anyone interested in the active feminine voice...It has a niche beyond the dancer-reader, to those drawn to Japan, to cultural anthropology, and to cross-culturalism." --Janice LaPointe-Crump, Texas Woman's University

Reseña del editor:

Dancing Into Darkness is Sondra Horton Fraleigh's chronological diary of her deepening understanding of and appreciation for this art form, as she moves from a position of aesthetic response as an audience member to that of assimilation as a student. As a student of Zen and butoh, Fraleigh witnesses her own artistic and personal transformation through essays, poems, interviews, and reflections spanning twelve years of study, much of it in Japan.
