From the most brilliant and audacious choreographer of our time, this is the exuberant tale of a young dancer's rise to the pinnacle of the performing arts world.
'The absorbing story of an uncompromising genius of the dance.' Salman Rushdie
'Candid, compelling. . . I loved every word of insight into the mind of a master.' Sunday Times
Mark Morris was nineteen when he moved to New York to become a professional dancer. Flat broke, he found a group of like-minded artists that danced together, travelled together, slept together - a collective which became the Mark Morris Group.
Suddenly, Morris was on a fast ascent, and with success also came controversy: from the circus of his tenure at La Monnaie in Belgium to his work on the biggest flop on Broadway history. But through the Reagan-Bush era and the worst of the AIDS epidemic, Morris emerged as one of the great visionaries of modern dance, an artist as joyful as he is provocative.
