Your Move: A New Approach to the Study of Movement and Dance establishes a fresh and original framework for looking at dance. In examining the basic elements of dance - the Alphabet of Movement - and using illustrations of movement technique and notation symbols it provides a new way to see; to teach and to choreograph dance. This book gives a list of primary actions upon which all physical activity is gased; focusing on both the functional and expressive sides of movement. It draws upon the authors broad experience in ballet; modern and ethnic dance to reinterpret movement and to shed new light on the role of movement in dance. Your Move is an important book not only for dancers but also for instructors in sport and physical therapy. Each copy of Your Move comes complete with exercise sheets; which can also be purchased separately. A teachers guide has also been designed providing notes on each chapter; approaches to the exploration of movement; interpretation of the reading studies; additional information of motif description and answers to the exercise sheets. An optional audio cassette; with music written and recorded especially for use with the book; is also available.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Great Thought Pieces on the Future of CitiesBy Jason S. JohnsonThis book is a good mix of theoretical essays; interviews with practitioners and project precedents. The book offers some welcome rigour in the discussion of computational techniques for generative design as relates to the city. My one quibble with this book is that the figures are in some cases too small. I have found it to be a good resource for my students as it gives them multiple entry points into the topic.
