Description

Simple guidelines for the business of “making up dances!” Choreographers are not making dances out of words. They compose them within the vocabulary of movement. Dr. Ellfeldt has long demonstrated her command of that vocabulary in her own dance compositions. Now, in A Primer for Choreographers, she has undertaken the difficult task of explaining its alphabet to beginning students. Beginning with a brief definition of dance, this book supplies young dancers not with a very simple explanation of the process of choreography, but with some tools for finding their very own processes. This is a primer, a beginner’s book, which identifies the alphabet and the rules of grammar and spelling of dance. It isn’t a how-to book, for nobody is sure the right way to succeed as a choreographer–aside from by in point of fact trying.
