Opis

"That first wild dance class takes us through uncharted places, both internal and in real space, in studios, galleries and out into cornfields on campus and eventually onto stage."

A stunning portrait of a life lived on the edge, "Confessions of a Motion Addict" explores author Stephen J. Petronio's tumultuous upbringing and subsequent awakening to the worlds of art, sex, and the dangerous compulsions that often haunt artists of every genre.

The son of a modest Italian family, Petronio is perpetually aware of his status as an outsider while growing up in Nutley, New Jersey.

His entrance into an elite, progressive college, however, provides him the opportunity for reinvention, and Petronio plunges headfirst into a world ripe for revolution. It is there that he discovers something that will change his life forever: dance.

Passionate and talented, Petronio has crafted an enviable career that has spanned three decades and counting. He is widely regarded as a leading force in American contemporary dance, having created countless works that have been performed all over the world.

In true artist's fashion, Petronio's story will astonish, challenge, and ultimately inspire readers to embrace the creativity that lies within.
