Featuring movement exploration exercises that illustrate choreographic principles, this text shows how to solve common choreography problems, design and shape movements, and organize dance performances. It also addresses how to understand choreographic principles and use critical thinking skills.
Just started reading this book. so far so good.Well written and edited and presented. It helps with the creative process. Haven't tried out the excercises to see how they'll work though.
Must have for dancers who also want to perform

I found this book very helpful! This book has photos of stage dos & don'ts, and covers everything from movement exploration, to how lighting and costumes effect the dance. Everything from coming up with the dance, to auditioning other dancers to stage set up, to performance is covered. This is a "hands-on" book, with lots of exercises for the dancer to play with. In the rear of the book is forms and checklists that will help make choreography and booking a lot easier. Well written out, and lots of photos to illistrate the writer's meaning. Since in dance, a picture IS worth a 1,000 words.
