The Art of Dance Composition

With the understanding that people learn and process in differing ways, this book approaches composition from visual, auditory, verbal, logical, and kinesthetic viewpoints, and addresses each element as a source of inspiration and a jumping off point. This book provides a roadmap for choreographers so that they are using their own vocabulary and their own technique to create work that is unique to them, rather than using someone else's processes.This book is suitable for use in Introduction to Dance Composition, Introduction to Dance, Intermediate Dance Composition, and Dance Survey courses.This is the first composition book that uses technology, digital editing, motion capture, and video as sources of new movement creation and ordering.
