Most dance production books are written from the perspective of a production manager or designer, focusing on the technical aspects of a traditional dance production.
Producing Dance takes a unique path—one that includes the voice of the choreographer and dancer in the journey to performance.
In doing so, the authors support the process of the entire creative team and cover all aspects of a production. They put those aspects in the context of real-world application, in sequence with other components, creating a toolbox for success for all involved. By the end of the book, readers will have discovered the many options available to them in the production setting and be able to choose the tool most needed at the time.
Critical Guidance That Sets This Book Apart Through its collaborative approach, Producing Dance goes beyond the performance, covering evaluation, reflection, and opportunities for growth. And it offers guidance in two critical areas that are not addressed in other dance production books:
Creating dance performances in nontraditional spaces such as site-specific venues, dance and culture festivals, and audience-immersive experiences Supporting the development of an artistic career through acquiring business skills such as fundraising, grant writing, and performing business analyses
Ancillaries Producing Dance comes with an instructor guide, a test bank, a PowerPoint presentation package, and HKPropel Access. Through HKPropel, students will find supplemental content and study aids:
Application activities for each chapter, allowing students to practice the concepts discussed in the chapter Real-world examples with explanations Links to websites that further illustrate concepts Virtual flash cards to help students study and retain key terms
Parts of the Book The text is presented in four parts. Part I guides readers in balancing and integrating artistic ideas with logistical considerations to create a clear and unified vision. Part II explores the process of realizing that vision through a collaborative and creative process. In part III, the knowledge gained in the first two parts is put into action as performance takes center stage. In part IV, readers learn how to continue to grow beyond the performance through a variety of pathways that deepen understanding and open up future opportunities.
Realizing Vision The journey from an idea to a fully produced vision can be daunting. Producing Dance makes that journey not only doable but also enjoyable. It provides readers the understanding and tools they need to realize their vision, explore and develop their voice, and further their growth and career development.
Note: A code for accessing HKPropel is included with all new print books.
