Roche and Burridge's book Choreography: The Basics is an insightful introduction to the theory and practice of choreography that is illustrated with current choreographic examples from diverse regions and cultural contexts. For anyone considering studying dance as a profession, I will recommend this book. - Professor Anna CY Chan, Dean of School of Dance, The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts. Choreography: The Basics is ideally suited to undergraduates seeking to better understand a multiplicity of approaches to making dances. Emphasising the social and relational aspects of choreography, alongside the craft and discipline, this accessible text is packed with insights and portraits of choreographic processes for the 21st century. - Professor Carol Brown, Head of VCA Dance, University of Melbourne. Brought to life through diverse examples, Choreography: The Basics provides a road map of the experience, knowledge and contexts of making dances. I would recommend this book to all dance students and scholars eager to establish a sound basis in their Choreographic Studies. - Dr Jamieson Dryburgh, Director of Higher Education, Central School of Ballet, London.
