The book Living in the Composition – On Dance as a way of Seeing – an introduction to Tuning Scores by Lisa Nelson is now available!

You can now find it in bookstores or order it in our online bookshop.

Elaborated by the American choreographer Lisa Nelson – an innovative figure in postmodern dance and improvisation – the Tuning Scores are a dance performance practice: a collection of physical warmups, aesthetic games and communication tools, exploring how we sense and make sense of movement from inside and out.

Integrating the rigor of observation and the poetry of creative research, this book encapsulates her unique approach to composition, through personal story, scores, guided explorations, and a dialogue between visual images and action words.

A valuable source of inspiration for the movement arts, filmmaking, teaching, collaborative research, and daily life.
