Your Move: A New Approach to the Study of Movement and Dance: A Teachers Guide

by Ann Hutchinson Guest

Overview

The author takes a new approach to teaching notation through movement exercises, thus enlarging the scope of the book to teachers of movement and choreography as well as the traditional dance notation students.

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.
