Reviews
Kate Flatt's book is the ultimate toolkit for any aspiring movement director. She shares her adventures through the creation of the original production of a small show called Les Miserables after following a 'hunch'. Movement Direction is an excellent handbook for artists to explore new perspectives and you can expect to feel enlightened by the world of movement direction. Flatt ends the book in a creative way, leaving the reader with her final ten thoughts, my favourite being number 10: "Whatever the process, the results will live in the hearts and minds of the audience." -- Katie Smith, The One Dance UK Magazine * The One Dance UK Magazine *
It's a wonderful book packed full of insightful information around the craft. What an honour to be sharing my practice .as a part of it It is so useful to have in Guildhall School of Music and Drama library. -- Diane Alison Mitchell, Head of Movement at Guildhall School of Music and Drama. * Head of Movement at Guildhall School of Music and Drama *
