This book provides a comprehensive and concise overview of choreography both as a creative skill and as a field of study, introducing readers to the essential theory and context of choreographic practice. 
Providing invaluable practical considerations for creating choreography as well as leading international examples from a range of geographical and cultural contexts,this resource will enhance students’ knowledge of how to create dance. This clear guide outlines both historical and recent developments within the field, including how choreographers are influenced by technology and intercultural exchange, whilst also demonstrating the potential to address social, political and philosophical themes. It further explores how students can devise and analyse their own work in a range of styles, how choreography can be used in range of contexts – including site-specific work and digital technologies – and engages with communities of performers to give helpful, expert suggestions for developing choreographic projects. 
This book is a highly valuable resource for anyone studying dancemaking, dance studies or contemporary choreographic practice and those in the early stages of dance training who wish to pursue a career as a choreographer or in a related profession.

This guide examines the power of comedy and explains how to be a writer of this genre. Writing for radio, stage, TV, jokes, sitcom, stand-up, cartoons and children are dealt with. Each stage of the process is covered, from creating ideas and learning the craft, to marketing the material.
