Description
Dance is more than just movement - it's a way of communicating with others. This book explores how choreographers and performers create meaning in dance theatre works, from the interlock between performers, movement material, sound, and performance. Valerie Preston-Dunlop examines 32 key questions about communication in dance, including the role of theory and the ways in which different elements come together to convey a message. With 46 examples of dance works from various genres, this book provides a unique perspective on the dance medium. Written for those involved in dance, this text is presented in a clear and accessible way, with key words in bold type to help illustrate its points.
