About The Book
Choreography and Narrative by Susan Foster is a seminal work that explores the dynamic relationship between dance and storytelling. First published in 1995, the book delves into how choreographic practices can convey complex narratives and evoke emotions in a way that words alone cannot. Foster provides insightful analysis of the ways dance can communicate a story, creating a unique intersection between the expressive power of movement and the art of narrative.

This book is ideal for scholars, students, and practitioners of dance, theater, and performing arts who seek to deepen their understanding of how choreography can be used as a powerful narrative tool. Through a detailed exploration of choreography, Foster offers new perspectives on the role of dance in storytelling, making this work an essential resource for anyone interested in the narrative potential of movement and performance.
