- Summary
- "Despite the richness of the subject and the importance frequently ascribed to the phenomena of rhythm and timing in the arts, the topic as a whole has been neglected. Janet Goodridge writes from a practical movement background and draws on a wide range of sources to illuminate the subject in relation to theatre, drama, dance, ceremony, and ritual. Written for all those working in, or interested in the expressive arts - teaching, directing and performing - arts therapies, interpersonal communication and anthropology, the book provides a first step towards a cross-cultural, interdisciplinary perspective."--Jacket.
