Description
Choreography: The Basics provides a comprehensive overview of choreography as both a creative skill and a field of study. This clear guide introduces readers to essential theory and context, offering practical considerations for creating choreography and leading international examples from diverse geographical and cultural contexts. The book explores how choreographers are influenced by technology and intercultural exchange, while also addressing social, political, and philosophical themes. It provides expert suggestions for developing choreographic projects, including site-specific work and digital technologies, and offers guidance on devising and analysing one's own work in various styles. This valuable resource is ideal for those studying dance-making, dance studies, or contemporary choreographic practice, as well as early-stage dancers looking to pursue a career as a choreographer or in a related profession.
