Books & Chapters
A collection of
in-depth interviews with movement directors & theatre choreographers.
2020 Bloomsbury
As a movement director, this is an insider’s view of the subtle, embodied art of movement direction through the voices of movement directors from all stages of their working lives. Contextual chapters offer a lineage of practices in British theatre, as well as proposing a manifesto for change.
Reviews of the book by One Dance UK and Springback Magazine.
