Expressive Conducting: Movement and Performance Theory for
Conductors applies the insight of movement and performance theory
to the practice of conducting, offering a groundbreaking new
approach to conducting. Where traditional conducting pedagogies
often place emphasis on training parts of the body in isolation,
Expressive Conducting teaches conductors to understand their
gestures as part of an interconnected system that incorporates the
whole body. Rather than emphasizing learning specific patterns and
gestures, this book enables student and professional conductors to
develop a conducting technique that is centered around expressing
the themes of the music. Drawing parallels to the worlds of acting,
this text treats the body as the conductor's instrument. Coaching
notes derived from years of experience as a performance movement
specialist offer readers approachable methods for eliminating
communication barriers-both conscious and subconscious-to encourage
optimal performance, highlighting acting theory, movement exercises
and the significance of weight distribution. Unlike other
conducting approaches, this text understands that conducting
resonates throughout the entire body and is not conveyed by the
hands or baton alone. With a comprehensive consideration of the
conductor's body and movements, featuring over 50 original
illustrations, Expressive Conducting advances strategies for
improving one's conducting skills in rehearsal and performance.
Jerald Schwiebert has developed a practical language for expressive
conducting. Together, Schwiebert and Barr present a text that is
suitable for conducting students, instructors, and professionals
alike.
