Case Studies on Choreography

 

 

In addition to creating new dances, choreographers often interact with a variety of topics and issues in dance-related and non-dance related disciplines. 

We present below a variety of perspectives and tackle issues, trends, surveys and concepts relevant to the choreographers’ work.

Based on the depth and scope of our CASE STUDIES,  we divide our findings into three entertaining categories:

 

 Upper-Case Studies: In-depth scholastic research by renowned authors with an analysis of practices, data, statistics, and field studies.

 Brief-Case Studies: Snapshot of objective observation or a choreographer’s perspective that zooms in on a certain topic or trend.

 Stair-Case Studies: Observations about unfolding debatable topics with pending resolution, and in need of additional research.
