lt;p>Ruth Eshel has a rich background in dance performance and research. Having danced and choreographed many multidisciplinary solo recitals, she went on to establish the contemporary Ethiopian dance troupes Eskesta and Beta. She is also the editor of the periodical Mahol Akhshav (Dance Today)-The Dance Magazine of Israel. In 2021 she was named Honorary Fellow of the Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance.
"This book fills a critical gap both because no such comprehensive book on the topic has yet appeared and because Eshel's work reveals the fascinations of an Israeli art genre, born only at the beginning of the twentieth century, that today has become a leading force in the dance worldwide. . . . As in her critical writing, Eshel's writing in Dance Spreads Its Wings is marked by a rigorous search for words to express the movement language she is discussing in as fresh, tangible, and unmediated a manner as possible." - Einav Rosenblit, dance researcher and lecturer on dance and philosophy of the arts at the Tel Aviv University and Orot Israel Academic College of Education, Isreael.
"Dance Spreads Its Wings is a preliminary essay-comprehensive, clear, interesting and in-depth on the formation and especially on the development of the dance field, as an important component of culture in Israel. Ruth Eshel's research encompasses historical and social backgrounds, dialogue with other arts, especially a fascinating story, from pioneering to blossoming." - Dan Oryan, Head of the Department of Theater Studies at the Western Galilee Academic College, Israel.
"In the dance literature in Israel, there are not many studies based on long and thorough work. This book by Ruth Eshel presents basic questions about ninety years of stage dance in Israel while trying to understand the historical reasons, the social motives and the artistic tools." - Naomi Bahat, Head of the School of the Arts at the Kibbutzim College of Education, Technology and the Arts from 1978 to 2000, Tel Aviv, Israel.
"Whether you read this 500-page volume from start to finish or keep it on your shelf for reference, you are sure to get a sense of the global dance activity in Israel over the years." https://wendyperron.com/notable-dance-books-of-2021/ (23.12.2021)
