Jun 09, 2006 10:42 AM Laura Jacobs with moving figures: A decade on dance by James Panero
Every person who’s been fascinated by a dance performance must read this book. Laura Jacobs of The New Criterion magazine is our best dance critic: with knowledge and wit, she tells us what dances are all about, takes them apart and puts them back together so we understand.It’s no secret in the offices of TNC that Laura Jacobs is one of our most beloved essayists. She is a perfectionist down to the last turn of phrase and pas de deux. Fortunately, now you too can have a chance to meet her at a book launch, reading, and signing at the National Arts Club. This event is open to the public, so mark your calendars now for 6 pm *tonight*, Friday, June 9, at NAC, 15 Gramercy Park South, New York. I plan to be there, and you may recognize me by the pink chrysanthemum placed in my buttonhole.
