In the mid 1990's Deborah Hay's work took a new turn. From her early experiments with untrained dancers, and after a decade of focusing on solo work, the choreographer began to explore new grounds of choreographic notation and transmission by working with experienced performers and choreographers. Using the Sky: a dance follows a similar path as Hay's previous books-Lamb at the Altar and My Body the Buddhist-by exploring her unrelenting quest for ways to both define and rethink her choreographic imagery through a broad range of alternately intimate, descriptive, poetic, analytical and often playful engagement with language and writing. This book is a reflection on the experiments that Hay set up for herself and her collaborators, and the ideas she discovered while choreographing four dances, If I Sing to You (2008), No Time to Fly (2010), A Lecture on the Performance of Beauty (2003), and the solo My Choreographed Body (2014). The works are revisited by unfolding a trove of notes and journal entries, resulting in a dance score in its own right, and providing an insight into Hay's extensive legacy and her profound influence on the current conversations in contemporary performance arts.

Whether the child has autism, dyslexia or any other special educational, emotional or behavioural difficulty, this book will help you find the school that suits the child best. From drawing up a list of possibilities and setting up a school visit, to asking the right questions and recording your opinions in order to make an informed decision, Choosing a School for a Child with Special Needs will guide you through this complex and stressful process with confidence and ease. Whether you are a parent seeking a special school, a professional researching a school, or a teacher recommending what to look for in a school, this book is a must-have reference for anyone taking school placement seriously.
Through a series of imaginative approaches to movement and
performance, choreographer Deborah Hay presents a profound
reflection on the ephemeral nature of the self and the body as the
locus of artistic consciousness. Using the same uniquely playful
poetics of her revolutionary choreography, she delivers one of the
most revealing accounts of what art creation entails and the ways
in which the body, the center of our aesthetic knowledge of the
world, can be regarded as our most informed teacher.
The intention of my work is to dislodge assumptions about the
fixity of the three-dimensional body.--Deborah HayHer movements are
uncharacteristic, her words subversive, her dances unlike anything
done before--and this is the story of how it all works. A founding
member of the famed Judson Dance Theater and a past performer in
the Merce Cunningham Dance Company, Deborah Hay is well known for
choreographing works using large groups of trained and untrained
dancers whose surprising combinations test the limits of the art.
Lamb at the Altar is Hay's account of a four-month seminar on
movement and performance held in Austin, Texas, in 1991. There,
forty-four trained and untrained dancers became the human
laboratory for Hay's creation of the dance Lamb, lamb, lamb . . .,
a work that she later distilled into an evening-length solo piece,
Lamb at the Altar. In her book, in part a reflection on her life as
a dancer and choreographer, Hay tells how this dance came to be.
She includes a movement libretto (a prose dance score) and numerous
photographs by Phyllis Liedeker documenting the dance's four-month
emergence.
Deborah Hay is an internationally renowned dance artist whose unique approach to bodily practice has had lasting impact on American choreography. Her commitment to dance as a process is as exquisite as it is provoking. Rooted in NYC’s 1960s experimental Judson Dance Theater in New York, Hay’s work has evolved through experimentation with a use of language that is unique to dance. This book is an exploration and articulation of Hay’s process, focusing on several of her most recent works.
