 Looking at dances, a choreological perspective on choreography.
Author: Preston-Dunlop, Valerie Published: 1998 Written for practical people in dance, the text is organised in 32 short chapters each addressing a question on the way in which choreographers might or might not engage with their audiences in dance theatre works. The topics include an introduction to communication theory and the way in which the interlocking network between performers, movement material, sound, and performance can carry meaning. The book is written from choreographers' and performers' perspectives, with 46 dance works cited from a wide range of genres. The text is unusually presented - 'as closely as possible to how we speak to each other' - with key words in bold type for ease of reference. |
