Rhythmic training for dancers. Author: Kaplan, Robert Published: 2002 This book, which includes a CD-ROM, helps dancers develop a better understanding of musical time and phrasing, two concepts that directly correspond with dancers' activities. The materials provide an interdisciplinary approach that bridges the perceptual barrier between dancer and musicians by explaining concepts from both perspectives. Its readers will learn basic concepts of musical time as they apply to dance technique and choreography, discover how to use musical time intuitevly when dancing, explore rhythmic theory from a musician's perspective, and participate in vocal and body percussion exercises in order to apply concepts through expressive soundscapes, aural textures, and rhythm. |
