The Place of Dance: A Somatic Guide to Dancing and Dance Making

I love this book! I bought it for myself about three years ago and then a second copy for a friend recently.

I love this book! It is a work of art itself. Andrea Olsen really crafted with book. The essays, exercises, sidebars, and images are thoughtful and extensive. She brings in many other artists' voices and perspectives throughout the book. If you are looking for a book about the impact of somatics and somatic thinking on all aspects of dance - training, composing, choreographing, etc. - this is your resource! The book can offer seasoned contemporary teachers, working at the college level, ideas for new explorations with your undergraduates and graduate level students.

Wonderfully crafted and researched book for the beginning dance practitioner in my case. Love the daily inquiries quotes photos and depth of information.

So much of what is written informs my deep explorations as I work alone or with my students.

good
