The Erick Hawkins Modern Dance Technique (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780871272133)

The Hawkins dance technique embodies the philosophy that dance should integrate the body, mind, and soul while always following scientific principles. This system of dance training--an approach that continues to influence dancers around the world--is examined through a variety of illustrations. Photographs of dancers illustrate the technique in action. Drawings demonstrate the relationship between movements of the body and everyday objects, such as the similarities between a spiral action of the spine and a barber's pole or winding staircase. This vibrant text examines Hawkins's originality, philosophical thinking, and teaching methods.
