Footnotes: Six Choreographers Inscribe the Page

by Elena Alexander, Jill Johnston, Douglas Dunn, Marjorie Gamso, Ishmael Houston-Jones

Overview

The writings of six choreographers are assembled in this book and the leap they have taken to go from the medium of choreography into written text constitutes a form of translation. Some of the texts investigate the possibilities of written language as invention, others use it as a means to illustrate specific tenets or describe choreographic projects. All yield insight into the process of coaxing language from the body.
