Dancer, choreographer, daughter, sister, wife, impresario, and visionary, Ruth Page... was an American dance treasure... The author uncovers Page's inquisitive boldness, spotlighting choreography-e.g., Alice in the Garden (1970) - that championed feminism and challenged gender roles.
Joellen A. Meglin, long-time editor of Dance Chronicle: Studies in Dance and the Related Arts and professor emerita of Dance at Temple University, has published extensively on Ruth Page and American ballet. Her re-imagination of Page's solo Expanding Universe was recently presented at the 92nd-Street Y and the Noguchi Museum in New York.
