About the Event
In advance of his appearance on our stage for a rare public conversation (Wednesday, October 8, 2025 at 7:30PM | Learn More), we invite you to delve into the world of legendary choreographer Mark Morris through a communal reading of his memoir, Out Loud. Presented in partnership with the Princeton Public Library, this hybrid book group offers the opportunity to explore Morris’s artistic journey, from his unconventional childhood in Seattle to the founding of the groundbreaking Mark Morris Dance Group, and the triumphs and tribulations that followed.
Whether you join us in person or virtually, come prepared for a lively discussion of this exuberant, candid, and sharply witty portrait of a true original in the world of dance. Book group participants will have the chance to submit a question in advance for Mark Morris to answer during his Princeton University Concerts event.
ABOUT THE BOOK
From the most “successful and influential choreographer alive” (The New York Times), Out Loud is the story of a fiercely independent artist finding his voice—and his movement—on his own terms. Writing with the same boldness, humor, and precision that defines his choreography, Morris recounts his evolution from a six-year-old dancing on Tupperware cups to his groundbreaking collaborations with Yo-Yo Ma, Mikhail Baryshnikov, and beyond. A love letter to music, movement, and the power of individuality, Out Loud offers a rare glimpse behind the curtain at the life of a joyous provocateur.
