Out Loud

£12.99

From the most brilliant and audacious choreographer of our time, the exuberant tale of a young dancer’s rise to the pinnacle of the performing arts world, and the triumphs and perils of creating work on his own terms – and staying true to himself. ‘Out Loud’ is the bighearted and outspoken story of a man as formidable on the page as he is on the boards. With unusual candour and disarming wit, Mark Morris’s memoir captures the life of a performer who broke the mould, a brilliant misfit who found his home in the collective and liberating world of music and dance.

Description

‘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.
