From her early experiments with untrained dancers, and after a decade of focusing on solo work, the choreographer began to explore new grounds of choreographic notation and transmission by working with experienced performers and choreographers. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsing the Sky: a dance follows a similar path as Hay’s previous books—\u003ci\u003eLamb at the Altar \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eMy Body the Buddhist\u003c\/i\u003e—by exploring her unrelenting quest for ways to both define and rethink her choreographic imagery through a broad range of alternately intimate, descriptive, poetic, analytical and often playful engagement with language and writing. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is a reflection on the experiments that Hay set up for herself and her collaborators, and the ideas she discovered while choreographing four dances, \u003ci\u003eIf I Sing to You\u003c\/i\u003e (2008), \u003ci\u003eNo Time to Fly\u003c\/i\u003e (2010), \u003ci\u003eA Lecture on the Performance of Beauty\u003c\/i\u003e (2003), and the solo \u003ci\u003eMy Choreographed Body\u003c\/i\u003e (2014). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe works are revisited by unfolding a trove of notes and journal entries, resulting in a dance score in its own right, and providing an insight into Hay’s extensive legacy and her profound influence on the current conversations in contemporary performance arts.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54241019461976,"sku":"9781138914353","price":192.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781138914353.jpg?v=1777626025","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/using-the-sky","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
