Dance 2wice is a collection of unique photographic essays depicting contemporary dance. Distilled from the pages of the award-winning disciplinary arts journal 2wice, the images explore the dynamic dialogue between performance and photography and bring together the talent of some the world's most respected dancers, choreographers, and photographers. In these carefully conceived collaborations, the transitory art of such key contemporary dance figures as Merce Cunningham, Mark Morris, Paul Taylor, and Karole Armitage is vividly captured: The pages become the stage for beautifully choreographed performances.

'This lovely little sonic of mine is brilliant at (...) putting up shelves (...).'
