Mark Tompkins is a professional dancer born in New York, but lived his entire life in France. He has over 20 years of stage experience in choreography and dance, working for some of the most renowned theaters in the world. He has performed hundreds of times in Canada and France... When Tompkins tried to do a little teaching and researching, he came up with the idea to write a book about that. He says that this book represents the understanding of the modern dances of the 20th century and how the dances completed him in life.
