MOVEMENT AND MAKING DECISIONS: THE BODY-MIND CONNECTION IN THE
WORKPLACE
by
Carol-Lynne Moore
ISBN:
1-5979-1000-7
© 2005
List Price: $21.95
6 x 9 : 144 pp. : Library Bound : Index
Noted movement specialist Carol-Lynne Moore examines the subtle relationship
between movement and the decision-making process. She explores this
relationship in the context of recounting the role of movement analysis
in the field of work-study. Moore traces the evolving ideas and methods
upon which this field is based, from its infancy at the turn of the
20th century when it was concerned with efficient patterns of physical
labor, to its maturation in the context of corporate management today.
As she follows the fascinating history of work-study she shows us
how the human body and mind are ever one and inseparable, and how
a theory and practice of movement analysis can capture the elusive
nature of movement to reveal human character.
"Moore
brings to light the little-known fact that dance notation creator,
Rudolf Laban did more than record the movements of dancers; he was
also a consultant to industrial clients who wanted to know how to
make their factories run more efficiently. Moore's study presents
a convincing and engrossing case of what dancers have always believed:
"I move, therefore I am." An eye-opening look at how the
analysis of movement has applications outside the dance studio."
-Dance Teacher 2006
“Carol-Lynne Moore's new book, Movement and Making Decisions:
The Body-Mind Connection in the Workplace, tells the story of how
Laban's work was developed to understand patterns of movement, and
how these patterns can shed light on personal preferences in the
decision-making process….Lamb (Laban's associate) suggested
that movement may be thought of as vapor trails emitted by the body,
and that while at first glance they may appear haphazard, upon analysis,
they could “create an individual and distinctive shape.”

LANDSCAPE WITH MOVING FIGURES: A DECADE ON DANCE
by Laura Jacobs
ISBN: 1-5979-1001-5
© 2006
List Price: $27.95
6 x 9 : 224 pp : Library Bound : Index
In Landscape with Moving Figures, Ms. Jacobs reflects on the
art form during the ten-year period from 1994-2004 when dancers, choreographers
and dance lovers were challenged by AIDS and the loss of the last
of the founding giants of American dance. Grounded by her vast knowledge
of the form and guided by her own sensitive gifts of perception, Ms.
Jacobs ponders the very purpose of the art as she encounters it in
landmark performances of the decade. She describes her multi-layered
experiences watching performances by Bill T. Jones, New York City
Ballet, Baryshnikov's White Oak Project, the Royal Ballet, Merce Cunningham,
Paul Taylor, Twyla Tharp and others.
"Ms.
Jacobs has a knack for making fine phrases, and she has great powers
of description. She can paint a lake or an emerald or a swan in
words. She can make you see the tilt of a neck in your mind's eye...Ms.
Jacobs's writing is immoderate. A sentence may begin with a lovely
image, embroider it three times, and make a sudden leap to a related
(but distant) idea. To read these essays is to tag along on the
free-associative jaunts of a quick thinker...Ms. Jacobs is a demanding
critic, but she is also a writer of unusual verve. Her provocative
collection of essays is both a diary of a turbulent decade in dance
and an articulation of her own sharply honed critical perspective."
- The New York Sun, December 26, 2006
"Laura Jacobs's LANDSCAPE WITH MOVING FIGURES tells us more
about dancing, from the classics to the moderns, than any other
book within recent memory...From the Kirov to Mark Morris she describes
dance so that it leaps off the page back into our memories...You
must read this book not only to get a perspective on the past but
to learn how to look at the stage today and really see."
- The World of Dance with Francis Mason, WQXR 96.3 FM, January
13, 2007
“Rigor and passion fill every page ”

SEVEN STATEMENTS OF SURVIVAL: CONVERSATIONS WITH DANCE PROFESSIONALS
Edited and with an Introduction by Renata Celichowska
© 2008
List Price: $24.95
6 x 9:224 pp 191: Library Bound: Index
List Price: $12.95
6 x 9:224 pp 191: Paperback: Index
Seven Statements of Survival consists of seven interviews with exemplary
dance professionals including dance writer Deborah Jowitt, dancers/choreographers
Carolyn Carlson and Garth Fagan, dance administrator Andrea Snyder,
dance anthropologist JoAnn Keali'inohomoku, dance educator Bill Evans
and dance librarian Madeleine Nichols. The interviews focus on personal
anecdotes and explanations of career choices made by the interviewees.
This collection of their stories in the challenging field of contemporary
dance, told with humor, insight and sometimes, regret aims to be both
an inspirational resource for future dance professionals as well as
a companion to the thousands of dedicated people of all ages who continue
to serve the dance every beautiful, crazy, frustrating, wonderful
day.
"Celichowska
has done a great job in capturing the voices of seven artists who
have made significant contributions to dance over time. I found
it so interesting to see how the different artists answered the
same questions given their personal and professional lives, the
generation from which they emanate and the universality of their
beliefs. It is fascinating reading!"
-Jane Bonbright, Ed.D. Exec. Dir. National Dance Education Organization
