When the social composition of an audience is studied, it is usually market research—material to be used by the development staff of a dance company for audience-building. Such studies are indeed indispensable for audience-building, but quantitative and qualitative studies of audiences are also indispensable for dance scholars. It is not necessary to argue here that the dance and the audience shape each other. A superb example of a qualitative audience study, though not of dance audiences, is Joseph Horowitz's Wagner Nights: An American History. In his postlude he writes: Wagnerism's residual reach, into the early twentieth century, was subtle and complex. One area that deserves study is its relationship to modern dance. Most American Wagnerites were women. Some were New Women. Wagner addressed buried emotional needs [in these women.] Brünnhilde and Isolde were influences en route to liberation. After 1900, Ruth St. Denis and Isadora, Duncan, ...self-created solo dancers, consummated this opportunity.
