Interprets the explosion of German body culture between the two wars - nudism and nude dancing, gymnastics and dance training, dance photography and criticism, and diverse genres of performance from solo dancing to mass movement choirs. This book presents the work of such well-known figures as Rudolf Laban, Mary Wigman, and Oskar Schlemmer.
