About this title

Synopsis

This reader-friendly text bridges the theoretical and practical aspects of the choreographic process. Whether you�re a beginning choreographer or a dance teacher new to choreography, you�ll learn how to solve common choreography problems, design and shape movements into a dance, and organize a dance concert.

The book features 63 movement exploration exercises that take you from dance making to preparing for a performance. More than 56 photographs highlight and clarify important concepts. This second edition also includes these helpful features that will guide you through the entire choreographic process:

� Movement exploration and improvisation exercises
� Ideas for organizing rehearsal schedules
� Suggestions for blocking, costuming, and lighting
� Sources for music and equipment
� Tips for selecting accompaniment
� Review questions
� Forms and checklists
� Glossary of choreographic terms
� Suggested readings

Choreography: A Basic Approach Using Improvisation also addresses three of the seven National Dance Content Standards: understanding choreographic principles, creating and communicating meaning, and using critical and creative thinking skills. It�s an excellent resource for teachers who are responsible for implementing these standards and dance enthusiasts who want to enrich their choreographic expertise.
