On choreography: âChoreography is a negotiation with the patterns your body is thinking.â
On rules: âTry breaking the rules on a need to break the rules basis.â
The updated and revised edition of A Choreographerâs Handbook invites the reader to investigate how and why to make a dance performance. In an inspiring and unusually empowering sequence of stories, questions, ideas and paradoxes, internationally renowned choreographer, teacher and writer Jonathan Burrows explains how itâs possible to navigate a course through this complex process.
It is a stunning reflection on a personal practice and professional journey, and draws upon many years of workshop discussions, led by Burrows.
Burrowsâ open and honest prose gives the reader access to a range of principles, exercises, meditations 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.
Industry Reviews
Praise for the first edition
'It proposes clear, but simultaneously cryptic advices applicable to a broad church of performance and dance making-dilemas. Well worth ordering' - Tim Etchells, Artistic Director of Forced Entertainment
'The book covers thematic topics such as 'Collaboration', 'Material' and 'Mentoring' in playful ways, making bold statements but also cheekily suggesting that the opposite may also be true. It is a thought-provoking read, but also a useful manual on approaching performance for teachers, students and practitioners, that attempts to go beneath the layers of performing and making performance works.' - Emma Meehan, Dance Notes
