 Physics and the art of dance, understanding movement.
Author: Laws, Kenneth Published: 2002 Written by a physicist with professional dance training, Physics and the art of dance explains how dancers can achieve better, safer performances through an understanding of physics in motion. Using simple, non-technical terms, the author combines his knowledge of both physics and dance to describe how the laws of gravity, momentum, and energy affect dancing bodies. The book contains material from the author's two earlier books, The physics of dance and Physics, dance, and the pas de deux, illuminated by clearer explanations and enhanced by added features. The book is illustrated by many photographs by Martha Swope, mostly of Lisa de Ribere, Sean Lavery, Julie Kent, and Benjamin Pierce. |
