Drawing the Surface of Dance: A Biography in Charts

Soloing on the page, choreographer Annie-B Parson rethinks choreography as dance on paper. Parson draws her dances into new graphic structures calling attention to the visual facts of the materiality of each dance work she has made. These drawings serve as both maps of her pieces in the aftermath of performance, and a consideration of the elements of dance itself. This book explores the meanings that form itself holds, and Parsons visual maps of choreographic ideas inspire new thinking around the shared elements underneath all art making. See more
