Dance Imagery for Technique and Performance cover

Using imagery to improve dancing and artistic expression. Renowned master teacher Eric Franklin has thoroughly updated his classic text, Dance Imagery for Technique and Performance, providing dancers and dance teachers with a deep understanding of how they can use imagery to improve their dancing and artistic expression in class and in performance. The 300 illustrations cover the major topics in the book, showing exercises to use in technique, artistic expression and performance. This new edition of Dance Imagery for Technique and Performance can be used with Franklin's Dynamic Alignment Through Imagery, Second Edition, or on its own. Either way, readers will learn how to combine technical expertise with imagery skills to enrich their performance, and they will discover methods they can use to explore how imagery connects with dance improvisation and technique.

The Franklin method has proved invaluable to our students at the Juilliard School in New York City for the past several years. Learning how to use mental imagery and functional anatomy for dance augments our training program beautifully because it is clear, precise, and useful in every way for any dancer. The students have found it revelatory!
