Summary
Murray Louis and Jeff Duncan discuss the small amount of press coverage devoted to dance in New York City in comparison to the number of performances; the specialized dance criticism found in trade papers and the fact that they don't serve the general public; dance critic Walter Terry's position at the Saturday Review as an opportunity to inform a wider audience; the unfairness of the New York Times' monopoly on dance criticism in comparison to the varying opinions in a wider variety of newspapers in England; regional dance critics; a managing editor's responsibility about what gets reviewed; the preparation, or lack thereof, of good dance critics; the inability of new and emerging artists to get reviewed; the performer's right to refuse a critic's attendance at a performance; and the importance of John Martin as the first major dance critic. [The tape concludes with a five-minute promotion by Alvin H. Reiss for forthcoming World of dance programs.]
