Book Synopsis

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 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.
