di Jonathan Burrows (Autore)

Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2024

On choreography: ‘Choreography is a negotiation with the patterns your body is thinking.’ On rules: ‘Try breaking the rules on a need to break the rules basis.’ The updated and revised edition of '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, questions, ideas and paradoxes, internationally renowned choreographer 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 many years of workshop discussions, led by Burrows. Burrows’ open and honest prose gives the reader access to a range of principles, exercises, meditations 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.
