Does a dance communicate ? What ? How ? Are all dances meaningful ?
Do spectators see what a choreographer sees ? "The strands of the
dance medium like locks of hair plait into one meaningful whole.
The interlock is all." The interlock is what this book explores
from the choreographer and performers' perspective with every genre
in contemporary dance theatre in mind. Written for practical people
in dance, the text is organised in 32 short chapters each
addressing a question on the way in which choreographers might or
might not engage with their audiences in dance theatre works. The
topics include an introduction to communication theory and the way
in which the interlocking network between performers, movement
material, sound, and performance can carry meaning. The book is
written from choreographers' and performers' perspectives, with 46
dance works cited from a wide range of genres. The text is
unusually presented - as closely as possible to how we speak to
each other - with key words in bold type for ease of reference.
Valerie Preston-Dunlop is an internationally recognised lecturer,
teacher, and author on dance. She is currently Adviser for
Postgraduate Studies and Research at the Trinity Laban Centre in
London.
