Welcome back to Danceletter Convos, the interview series that will now be landing in your inboxes once a month. For this edition, I’m thrilled to bring you a conversation with Annie-B Parson and Thomas F. DeFrantz, two artist-thinkers I’ve long admired — and the editors of the genre-defying new book Dance History(s): Imagination as a Form of Study, a co-publication of Dancing Foxes Press, Wesleyan University Press, and Annie-B’s New York–based company, Big Dance Theater.
