Choreographing Difference: The Body and Identity in Contemporary Dance

ASIN: 0415251443

Book Description

This clearly written, thought provoking manual includes over 50 exercises and improvisations designed to stimulate and challenge students-disabled and non-disabled-----at all levels of dance. Taking improvisation as his focus, Adam Benjamin asks what it has to offer as an art form and how it can be better used to meet the changing needs of dance education. He also explores the history of a dis-integrated dance practice, placing it within the wider context of cultural and political movements. He includes useful hints on the practicalities of setting up workshops covering issues as diverse as the safety aspects of wheelchairs and the accessibility of dance spaces.

A must.......2002-10-19

We had expirence adam bengamin's dance workshops for disable and non-disable dancers, and found a new world. We dicided to continue practicing in this field and read and reread this beautiful book, worked with the exercises and the idea they present, and passed them to other dancers which found this new world too, found a place in themself that let them do and feel things they didn't believe.
This book is a must for anybody who wants to go to these places.
