"This second edition of 'Making an Entrance' is a practical and thought-provoking introduction to teaching dance with disabled and non-disabled students, updated with expanded coverage, new and revised exercises, and a brand-new chapter on the importance of multiplicity, diversity and inclusivity. Divided into three key parts, Benjamin takes improvisation as his focus and covers an extensive range of topics, including mental health, feedback, The Dancers' Forest, therapy and the language of inclusivity. Within this book, the author questions what is meant today when we talk about 'inclusive' and 'integrated dance' and what we might expect of it. Over 50 stimulating and challenging exercises are also included, purposefully designed for dance students of all levels, as well as fascinating new material on post-pandemic and online practice. Useful hints are provided on the practicalities of setting up workshops which helpfully cover various issues such as diverse class sizes, safety aspects of wheelchairs and accessibility. An essential read for both students and teachers of improvisation who are seeking ways to engage with issues of diversity, written to be accessible to beginners whilst also engaging into areas of increasing complexity and challenge for more experienced readers"-- Provided by publisher.
