Footnote: About the author: Leanore Friedland Ickstadt has educated teachers, actors, dancers and children for over 45 years and has choreographed for companies in North and South America and in Europe. Born and educated in the United States, she first traveled to Germany on a Fulbright Fellowship to study with Mary Wigman, one of the founders of modern dance. She has lived in Germany since 1963, first in Berlin where she danced with Motion Studiogruppe für neuen Tanz and taught at the Max Reinhardt School of Acting. In Munich she taught at the Ballet Academy of the State Music School and founded the group Sound & Motion. Back in Berlin she opened the Tanz Tangente, a dance center for study and performance and the dance company Dance Berlin. Active in Dance and the Child international (daCi) a member of Unesco, she was its international Chair from 2000 to 2003. In 2003 she retired from the Tanz Tangente, which her teachers continued, and turned to writing. Her first book “Dancing Heads – a Hand- and Footbook for Teachers”, was published in 2007 by iUniverse and in German by Tanz und Schule e.V. München. Like the dancers in "Dancing, Out of Germany" she has struggled with a strange language, a foreign culture and history. This unique perspective reveals new aspects of Weimar Germany and of the Forties and Fifties in the United States. Leanore lives in New York and Berlin.
