From one of the most creative and audacious choreographers of our time, the exuberant tale of a dancer's rise to the pinnacle of the performing arts world Before Mark Morris became "the most successful and influential choreographer alive" (The New York Times), he was a six year old in Seattle, cramming his feet into Tupperware glasses so that he could practice walking on pointe. Often the only boy in the dance studio, he was called a sissy, a term he wore like a badge of honor. He was unlike anyone else, deeply gifted and unusually spirited. Moving to New York at nineteen, he arrived to one of the great booms of dance in America. Mark was flat broke, but found a group of likeminded artists that danced together, traveled together, slept together. No one wanted to break the spell or miss a thing: "if you missed anything, you missed everything." This collective, led by Mark's fiercely original vision, became the Mark Morris Dance Group. Through the Reagan-Bush era, the worst of the AIDS epidemic, through rehearsal squabbles and backstage intrigues, Mark emerged as one of the great visionaries of modern dance, a force of nature with a dedication to beauty and a love of the body, an artist as joyful as he is provocative. Out Loud is the big-hearted and outspoken story of a man as formidable on the page as he is on the boards. With unusual candor and fabulous wit, Mark's memoir captures the life of a performer who broke the mold, a maverick who found his home in the collective, liberating world of music and dance. Story Locale: Seattle, New York City, Spain, Belgium
