"Specific examples deepen the reader's understanding at any level...a great diversity of needs is addressed. Wilson's photographs of various dance shows featured throughout the book are part of what makes it great. Having this level of detail, up close and in motion, really helps readers understand the points highlighted by Pollatsek." Review in Theatre Design & Technology Magazine Vol 61, #1 by Ola Kraszpulska
A guide to all stages of the collaboration process between costume designers and choreographers, documenting a wide range of approaches to the creation of a dance piece.
Featuring interviews with a diverse selection of over 40 choreographers and designers, in-depth case studies of works by leading dance companies, and stunning original photography, the book explores the challenges and creative opportunities of designing for the body in motion. Filled with examples of successful collaborations in contemporary and modern dance, as well as a wide range of other styles, Costume in Motion provides costume designers and choreographers with a greater understanding of the field from the other’s perspective.
The book is designed to be part of the curriculum for an undergraduate or graduate level course in costume design or choreography, and it can also be an enriching read for artists at any stage of their careers wishing to hone their collaboration skills in dance.
