Now reissued, this book combines:a full account of Wigman’s life and workan analysis of her key ideasdetailed discussion of her aesthetic theories, including the use of space as an "invisible partner" and the transcendent nature of performancea commentary on her key works, including Hexentanz and The Seven Dances of Life an extensive collection of practical exercises designed to provide an understanding of Wigman’s choreographic principles and her uniquely immersive approach to dance.As a ﬁrst step towards critical understanding, and as an initial exploration before going on to further, primary research, Routledge Performance Practitioners are unbeatable value for today’s student.
