Choreography Guidelines and Best Practices

Abstract

This thesis study examines and reviews the existing literature on choreographic craft and process. In addition, it adds to the existing literature on the subject of choreography including elements of craft, process, theory, common pitfalls, as well as best practices. The historical figures George Balanchine and Jerome Robbins are studied in regard to their choreographic process and practices. A personal exploration of my own career as a choreographer is included from which practical lessons are distilled. A list of these choreography lessons are offered as guidelines for professional as well as aspiring choreographers.
