Book release
Author and folk musician Thomas S. Curren visits Gibson’s Bookstore, at 45 South Main Street in Concord to present his new book, “All Join Hands: Dudley Laufman and the New England Country Dance Tradition,” on Tuesday, May 16, from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Dudley Laufman himself will be there to join Tom in conversation, and promises a musical performance as well. In New England, there has long been a deep affection for traditional dance and its corresponding music. Folk dance joins us together, lifting us out of inhibitions, anxieties, and our acculturated need to exert control. It requires our participation as individuals, yet we embrace it as an exercise in group dynamics. The Yankee instinct for community art has been the inspiration behind Dudley Laufman’s lifelong stewardship of country dance, which is the story at the heart of “All Join Hands.“
