Ann Cooper Albright, author of Modern Gestures: Abraham Walkowtiz Draws Isadora Duncan Dancing, has received her sixth Individual Excellence Award from the Ohio Arts Council. 

If you are in New York City, you can catch Ann speaking about and reading from Modern Gestures at the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts. Albright delivers a fresh approach to Isadora Duncan's dance and Walkowitz's art, seamlessly moving between gesture and drawing in an assemblage of literary theory, art criticism, and dance history. The event, which includes a slide presentation of Walkowitz's drawings, will take place on Thursday, May 24th, 6-7:30 PM at the Dorothy and Lewis B. Cullman Center, in the Bruno Walter Auditorium, 40 Lincoln Center Plaza.
