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"
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.
