On rules: "Try breaking the rules on a need to break the rules basis". A Choreographer’s Handbook invites the reader to investigate how and why to make a dance performance. In an inspiring and unusually empowering sequence of stories, ideas and paradoxes, internationally renowned dancer, choreographer and teacher Jonathan Burrows explains how it’s possible to navigate a course through this complex process.It is a stunning reflection on a personal practice and professional journey, and draws upon five years’ of workshop discussions, led by Burrows.Burrows’ open and honest prose gives the reader access to a range of exercises, meditations, principles and ideas on choreography that allow artists and dance-makers to find their own aesthetic process.It is a book for anyone interested in making performance, at whatever level and in whichever style."--Provided by publisher.ChoreographyStudy and teachingDanceStudy and teachingChoreographyStudy and teaching.DanceStudy and teaching.792.8/2Burrows Jonathan1101003DLCDLCUKMBWKUKYDXCPBWKCDXDLCMiAaPQCaOWtU9910791123003321A choreographer's handbook3754612UNINA
