Ann Hutchinson Guest
R4,472 Discovery Miles 44 720 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Updated and enlarged to reflect the most recent scholarship and through a series of exercises, this book guides students through: movement, stillness, timing, shaping, accents travelling direction, flexion and extension rotations, revolutions and turns supporting balance relationships. All of these movements are related to notation, so the student learns how to notate and describe the movements as they are performed.

Ann Hutchinson Guest
R4,469 Discovery Miles 44 690 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Your Move: A New Approach to the Study of Movement and Dance establishes a fresh and original framework for looking at dance. In examining the basic elements of dance - the Alphabet of Movement - and using illustrations of movement technique and notation symbols it provides a new way to see, to teach and to choreograph dance. This book gives a list of primary actions upon which all physical activity is gased, focusing on both the functional and expressive sides of movement. It draws upon the author's broad experience in ballet, modern and ethnic dance to reinterpret movement and to shed new light on the role of movement in dance. Your Move is an important book not only for dancers but also for instructors in sport and physical therapy. Each copy of Your Move comes complete with exercise sheets, which can also be purchased separately. A teacher's guide has also been designed providing notes on each chapter, approaches to the exploration of movement, interpretation of the reading studies, additional information of motif description and answers to the exercise sheets. An optional audio cassette, with music written and recorded especially for use with the book, is also available.

Ann Hutchinson Guest
R4,469 Discovery Miles 44 690 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

A definitive book for students of dance and movement studies, Labanotation is now available in a fourth edition, the first complete revision of the text since 1977. Initiated by the movement genius Rudolf Laban, and refined through fifty years of work by teachers here and abroad, Labanotation, the first wholly successful system for recording human movement, is now having the effect on ballet and other forms of dance that the prefection of music notation in the Renaissance had on the development of music. This book makes it possible to record accurately, for study and reconstruction, the great dance creations of the theater, as well as such diverse activities as time/motion studies for industry, personnel assessment and physical therapy. So comprehensive that it can indicate even facial expressions, the system is also simple enough for a child to learn easily as an integral part of athletic or dance training.

Shawn's Fundamentals of Dance (Paperback): Anne Hutchinson Guest Shawn's Fundamentals of Dance (Paperback)
Anne Hutchinson Guest
R2,472 Discovery Miles 24 720 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

The "Language of Dance" series publishes key works that cover a range of dance styles and periods. Through selection of appropriate movement description, these pieces have been translated into labanotation, the highly developed method of analyzing and recording movement.;Whatever form of dance a pupil may choose, there are certain skills such as strength, co-ordination, elasticity and the ability to move rhythmically, that all must acquire. This book uses easily understood notated exercises as a means of teaching these skills within the language of dance. Exercises defining a range of dynamic qualities are linked into a series of sequences that allow students to develop the relationship between exercises and choreographed movement. The exercises are supplemented by photographs and a cassette composed and recorded by Jess Meeker, Shawn's original composer.

A comprehensive manual for writing movement in Labanotation when the body is not supported on the feet. Not only does it analyse in great detail how one can get up from lying, lie down from standing, roll from sitting on to the knees, etc., and how these movements are notated, but it also offers a complete survey of the Labanotation rules about distance, timing, systems of reference, weight distribution, and floor contact that apply to Labanotation as a whole and underlie any writing of 'floorwork'.

This is the first source text on this issue of Labanotation since it was introduced into the system in 1979. It shows the application of design drawing and the use of shape in pantomime gestures, in the handling of props and in choreography such as 'The Green Table' by Kurt Jooss.

Nijinsky's Faune Restored (Paperback): Ann Hutchinson Guest, Claudia Jeschke Nijinsky's Faune Restored (Paperback)
Ann Hutchinson Guest, Claudia Jeschke
R1,273 Discovery Miles 12 730 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Nijinsky's score of his L'Apres-midi d'un faune lay unused for nearly forty years after his death, because nobody could read it. In 1987 Dr Ann Hutchinson Guest and Dr Claudia Jeschke "broke the code" of his notation system and thus made the choreography he had notated available for revival. Subsequent performances of the restored Faune have been acclaimed for their beauty and subtlety. This book presents Nijinsky's ballet as he himself recorded it in 1915, making this authentic version, translated into Labanotation, immediately available to dance students, teachers, scholars and researchers. It intentionally includes the historical background, the chronology of Nijinsky's performances of Faune, Nijinsky's production notes, analysis of the choreographic style of the ballet, detailed study and performance notes, approaches to learning and teaching the ballet, research problems encountered in the transcription and revival, and a comprehensive explanation of Nijinsky's notation system with examples from his score. Supplemented by photographs of the 1912 production and with the music adjacent to the dance phrases, this book provides unique access to a much discussed and elusive ballet.
