内容简介:
Choreographer Jacky Lansley has been practicing
and performing for more than four decades. In
Choreographies, she offers unique insight into the
processes behind independent choreography and
paints a vivid portrait of a rigorous practice that
combines dance, performance art, visuals and a
close attention to space and site.
Choreographies is both autobiography and archive
– documenting production through rehearsal and
performance photographs, illustrations, scores,
process notes, reviews, audience feedback, and
interviews with both dancers and choreographers.
Covering the author’s practice from 1975 to 2019,
the book delves into an important period of change
in contemporary British dance – exploring British
New Dance, postmodern dance, and experimental
dance outside of a canonical US context. A critically
engaged reflection that focuses on artistic
process over finished product, Choreographies
is a much-needed resource in the fields of dance
and choreographic art-making.
