Synopsis
This collection of essays by choreographer and teacher Susan Rethorst tracks the emergence of her "practical philosophy" of choreographic thought, embracing what she identifies as "knowledge first found in the body by the body." Through memoir and analysis, she charts the development of her choreographic perspective from childhood through to the many potentialities of the dance world. A sampling of titles of her essays: 'Dailiness,' 'Play profound,' 'Ways and means,' 'Don't take my word for it,' 'Notes: Proposals in action,' give a hint of her straight-forward creative process. In her own words: "[This book] is a subjective account of how dance making brings the maker, and ideally the viewer, to understandings of self and the body's mind." One of New Yorker's BEST books of 2012!!
