It cannot exist on its own in the context of dramatic performance, but works in conjunction with other elements to enable meanings to be created in performance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e Dramatic Dance\u003c\/i\u003e sets a programme for actors to perform dance as part of the drama, offering several approaches which can contribute to developing this understanding, to training this skill, and always ensuring that the whole active and thinking body and mind are fully engaged with the task of making dance an integral and vital part of theatre. To study dance in this way allows students to develop further their understanding of logic and structure in a dramatic text.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Many books deal with one aspect of dance or another: some on dance training, some on dance history, some on Rudolf Laban's ideas, some as dance manuals, and some as academic papers. \u003ci\u003eDramatic Dance\u003c\/i\u003e is the first book to act as a comprehensive guide for theatre practice, bringing together these different, complementary disciplines.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Darren Royston\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1408173816\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781408173817\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/19\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.60h x 7.30w x 0.40d","brand":"Darren Royston","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44201877045503,"sku":"9781408173817","price":35.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b04ddb4f-6de7-44be-bb2f-550102398121.jpg?v=1691491949","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dramatic-dance-darren-royston-9781408173817","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
