She is accompanied at her dance beginnings, during her first visit to London, in particular in connection with the Dance Foundation by philanthropist, patron and dance lover Robin Howard (1924 \u2013 1989), who is among others credited with the founding of London Contemporary Dance School (1965), the London Contemporary Dance Group and the London Contemporary Dance Theatre (1967 \u2013 1994) and the establishment of The Place dance centre, which celebrated its 50<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">th<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> anniversary in 2019. In the years when she was a student (1965 \u2013 1967) and a member of ensembles (1967 \u2013 74), Xenia met with exceptional names from the world of contemporary dance, art and journalism, worked with a range of encyclopaedic choreographers and performed at large venues of the contemporary dance world. The book concludes her British contemporary dance story in the years when she studied and lectured at the University of Victoria in Manchester and then spent two years returning home. It ends in the time when she began toying with the idea that the British contemporary dance story could be replicated in Ljubljana.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/rok.vevar\"><b>Rok Vevar <\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is a theatreologist, curator, dramaturg, publicist and historian of contemporary dance.
