Автор:Joan Cass Год: 2004 Издание: [не указанo] Страниц: 237 ISBN: 0786422319 Book DescriptionIn dance, the choreographer creates, the dancer performs, and the viewer observes. This work is a handbook for the viewer. By presenting historical and artistic perspectives of dance, dance events are made more approachable and appreciation for the art form is heightened. The choreographic components of body language, content, structure, music, design, and interpretation are included. Also discussed is the development of critical reaction over time. Examples are drawn from Western theatrical dance and worldwide cultural variations. Terms are explained throughout the text, and an extensive bibliography gives sources in print and on tape for further study.
