    Understand and formulate rigorous marketing strategies and differential advantage in today’s marketplace

This book focuses on competitive positioning and includes in-depth discussions of the processes used within marketing to achieve competitive advantage in a business environment – by creating and sustaining superior performance in the marketplace. The key approach used in this book is to focus on two central issues in marketing strategy formulation – the identification of target markets, and the creation of a differential advantage. In doing so, it recognises the emergence of potential new target markets born of the recession, increased concern for climate change and disruption from ongoing technological advances. It helps you examine ways in which firms can differentiate offerings through recognition of environmental and social concerns and innovation.

  • Hope in a Ballet Shoe: Orphaned by war, saved by ballet: an extraordinary true story

    08

    Hope in a Ballet Shoe tells the story of Michaela DePrince. Growing up in war-torn Sierra Leone, she witnessed atrocities that no child ever should. Her father was killed by rebels and her mother died of famine. Sent to an orphanage, Michaela was mistreated and saw the brutal murder of her favourite teacher.

    Then Michaela and her best friend are adopted by an American couple, and Michaela begins to take dance lessons. But life in the States isn’t without difficulties. Unfortunately, tragedy can find its way to Michaela in America, too, and her past can feel like it’s haunting her. The world of ballet is a racist one, and Michaela has to fight for a place amongst the ballet elite, hearing the words ‘America’s not ready for a black girl ballerina.’

    And yet . . . Today, Michaela DePrince is an international ballet star, dancing for The Dutch National Ballet at the age of nineteen. This is a heart-breaking, inspiring autobiography by a teenager who shows us that, beyond everything, there is always hope for a better future.

  • Choreography – craft and vision: Developing and Structuring Dance for Solo, Duet and Groups

    SOFTCOVER SPECIAL Edition KDP

    This book offers a comprehensive toolbox of approaches
    to analysing and creating contemporary
    choreography.

    Are you ready to deepen your understanding
    of the world of dance and the creative
    process of choreography?

    In this book about choreography you will learn
    how to develop dance and performance.
    In order for you to truly enjoy the process of
    choreography, I will offer you tools to help you
    enter into a creative flow.
    Because ultimately, that’s what it’s all about:
    getting into a free flowing joyful process with the
    dancers and having plenty of fun along the way,
    as you develop a solo, a duet or a group piece for
    the stage or a film.

    You will learn how to expand your repertoire and
    how to trigger in your dancers, identification and
    connection with your theme.

    I will present various ways in which you can
    develop and structure your work. Tools with
    which you can introduce tension, multiple facets,
    variety and powerful dynamics into your dances,
    allowing a dramaturgy to emerge.

    You will receive over 120 exercises to inspire you
    for your rehearsals or classes.
    You can now preview the entire book online for
    free or download a reading sample.
    Take a look.
    It will inspire you and your dancing and it will
    improve your choreography.

    When it comes to choreography, many
    dancers are initially lost.
    Nevertheless, there are people who can’t
    dance and still develop great pieces.
    Maybe you’re a gifted mover, but that
    doesn’t mean that your material works in one
    piece.

    Even if your movements are great and
    others admire you for how you dance, it can
    happen very quickly that the sensation of your
    skills wears off very quickly and your movements
    seem arbitrary. Especially if you have transferred
    them to a group. And you ask yourself in such a
    moment: What am I doing wrong? My dancers
    are great, my movement material is innovative,
    but on stage it all seems interchangeable and it’s
    just movement. And you think: This is all
    pointless.

    No, that’s not it! It’s about how you deal
    with everything. How you connect the dancers
    with your ideas and with your material. How you
    manage that the dancers make your visions and
    your movements theirs. How to get them there
    to identify with what moves you. But even that is
    not enough.

    You need to know more about how
    dramaturgy works in dance. How you build up an
    arc of suspense and what that has to do with
    space and rhythm. How to create interesting
    contrasts and how to deal with music and
    movement.

    This book covers all of that. You can open
    it anywhere and get inspiration for the rehearsal
    or class and expand your thought space. But you
    can also focus on certain topics such as music
    and movement. You can delve deeper into the
    work of thematic development and structuring
    of access development.

    In total there are 120 studies and
    exercises that you do not have to do one to one.
    You can use the exercises as a suggestion and
    develop them further in order to get on with
    your dancing and choreography.

  • NYC Ballet Fashion Gala: Choreography & Couture

    Celebrating the dual art forms of ballet and fashion, this beautiful book explores the creative collaborations between the New York City Ballet and top fashion designers of our age, including Valentino, Dries Van Noten, and Olivier Theyskens among others. Ballet and fashion have long been intertwined. From its creation in seventeenth-century France, classical ballet adapted elements from high style including the ballerina s corseted bodice, tulle skirt, and pointe shoes. The world of fashion happily reciprocated, incorporating balletic style into day and evening wear, a trend that continues to this day. The interrelationship between these beautiful art forms is exemplified by the New York City Ballet s annual Fall Fashion Gala in which the company s young choreographers collaborate with prominent fashion designers on a newly commissioned ballet. From the first gala in 2012 when renowned choreographers Peter Martins and Christopher Wheeldon worked with Valentino, up through the present, the performances have become the most glamorous cultural event of the season with the biggest names in fashion bringing their artistic vision to a never-seen-before ballet. With stunning photography, this book features incredible images of the dancers in motion, with details highlighting their couture costumes. Richly illustrated, with the designers costume sketches complementing the photography, the book also features interviews between the dancers, choreographers and designers, as well as essays by noted fashion writers, illuminating the dynamic process of design and dance.

    Dionysos is the Greek god of the grape-harvest and winemaking, of the growth and fertility of vegetation – especially orchards and vineyards – and, lastly, of insanity, ritual madness, religious ecstasy, festivity and theatre. Because of his links to plant growth, he also became associated with death, resurrection and regeneration. He was also known as Bákkhos to the Greeks, a name adopted by the Romans as Bacchus. The focus here is on the links between Dionysos’ cult and the perennial human preoccupations of drugs, sex and ecstasy.

    _________________________

    ‘A story that sparkles on the page – I absolutely loved it.’ Milly Johnson
    _________________________

    Set against the colourful boho backdrop of London’s Camden in the 1990s, Dances and Dreams on Diamond Street, tells the story of an unlikely family of friends who each rent a room in a ramshackle six-bedroom, four-storey townhouse. Like any family, the residents of Diamond Street sometimes fight and often act up but when the chips are down, they’re there for each other in an instant – usually brandishing a cheap bottle of booze and the offer of an impromptu kitchen disco.

    Presided over by the wise-cracking but warm-hearted patriarch of the family, Danny Hall, a professional dancer turned choreographer, the novel follows a year in the life of the inhabitants of Diamond Street, rough diamonds one and all, as they try to achieve their dreams – with unexpected, heart-warming and sometimes hilarious results.

    Dance into Business is intended primarily as a guide for dance students, teachers and professionals taking up their first teaching post, planning their own business, setting up a freelance career, contemplating a change in career, transitioning from employment to self-employment, returning to the work place and expanding or selling an existing business. Using insight from working in the dance world, chapters containing helpful tips, practical examples, and points to consider cover topics such as: Choosing your options; Going self-employed; Writing a business plan; Choosing a business name; Choosing a business structure; Using financial tools; Costing your business; Setting fees; Analysing cash flow; Funding; Paying taxes; Up and running Operating; Complying with the law; Attracting customers; Engaging freelancers; Using volunteers; Expanding; and Buying (or selling) a business.Dance into Business looks at demystifying some of the concepts around employment and self-employment. It looks at different types of employment and the main stages of getting into business: preparation, planning, setting up and starting out. It explains the principals of business plans, budgets, costing, pricing, cash flow, break-even, finance, operations, and other issues that can be key components to a successful business. The author assumes readers could be living and working anywhere in the world and therefore the book has not been written to answer specific queries relating to individual cases or jurisdictions. However the types of business and laws described in this book are generally those of the United Kingdom, although similarities exist in many countries. Because of this complexity, Dance into Business should be read as a guide or general overview, the examples and exercises illustrative only and readers should always seek appropriate professional advice as formal legal, accounting, or other professional advice has not been given in this book. Although not suitable for all individuals, businesses or situations, many of the principles can be applied to other dance businesses such as productions, conferences, workshops, and course provision, or to other products and services.

  • Dancing in Time: The History of Moving and Shaking

    With a Foreword by Oti Mabuse.

    Dance is at the heart of diverse cultures around the globe, from the increasing popularity of salsa clubs, to break dance battles that gather crowds in the street, to the constant stream of dance routines going viral on TikTok. Every Saturday from September to December, 8 million people tune in to watch Strictly Come Dancing.

    But behind the glitzy performances are amazing and unpredictable histories: the shocking debut of the waltz in eighteenth-century Vienna; the power of African-American influence on the jive and Lindy hop; and the early foundations of hip-hop in funk and disco styles. Tango, samba, Charleston, cha cha cha, rumba – each dance has distinct rhythms, quality of movement and complex rules to learn and follow. But they all shook up society and gave ordinary people the freedom of self-expression.

    Choreographer Robert Hylton navigates an extraordinary array of photographs, periodicals and ephemera from the British Library collections, which reveal the true origins of the popular dance styles that have, at one point or another, swept the population off their feet.
