Creative Movement and Dance: The Garcìa-Plevin Method

by María Elena García, Patrizia Macagno, Marcia Plevin

An instrumental tool for both educators and dancers, this book presents creative movement as a new dance discipline that has the aim to develop, through the means of improvisation, the body's expressive and creative potentials. The first two parts of the book analyze the theoretical and practical fundamentals of the Garcìa-Plevin new method as well as the most important didactic applications. The third section explains the value of the method and concerns the training of dancers and teachers. This method particularly emphasizes the ability to reduce psychological and technical preconditioning of the students and helps to liberate their imagination and sensitivity.
