Health, Well-being and Excellence in Dance, the book

THE BOEK IS THERE!!!

During the “Nederlandse Dansdagen” (Dutch Dance Days) in Maastricht the first copy of the book Not Just Any Body & Soul – health, well-being and excellence in dance was presented to Wim Broeckx, director of the Dance Department of the Royal Conservatory in The Hague.

Not Just Any Body & Soul is an intriguing report of the conference of the same name which was organised in November 2003 by Holland Dance Festival, Stichting Gezondheidszorg voor Dansers, Stichting Omscholingsregeling Dansers and the Hogeschool voor Muziek en Dans/Rotterdamse Danscademie.

Not Just Any Body & Soul is a book which belongs on the shelves of every dance company, dancer, choreographer, dance school, teacher, student and library. It contains personal accounts and essays by (inter)national professionals from dance and related disciplines. Subjects such as physique, ethics and customs, training methods, employment conditions and the “soul” are elucidated from different perspectives. The book includes contributions from Anna Aalten, Julia Buckroyd, Deborah Bull, Caroline Harder, Deborah Jowitt, Fiona Lummis and Margot Rijven.
