This paperback is a great new option…helpful for dancers at various career stages. It is a book, workbook, and reflection guide all in one." - Jill Randall, July 2024 From defining dreams to crafting strategies, Choreographing Your Dance Career is a unique and comprehensive resource for dancers, choreographers, directors, and educators. This engaging handbook blends information, examples, and exercises with stories from the author’s life, providing the tools and guidance necessary for a sustainable life in dance. Organized in four acts, ACT 1 - FIRST STEPS lays the groundwork for self-discovery and career exploration. ACT 2 - PHRASING empowers artists with advice on written and visual promotional materials. ACT 3 - PARTNERING spotlights techniques for successful networking, interviewing, and auditioning, while ACT 4 - BEHIND THE SCENES lifts the curtain on the complexities of producing, promoting, and directing.
