Making Video Dance Reviews

On the first edition:

....timely and very exciting - a long overdue essential for the dance world

- Lea Anderson, Choreographer

On this revised edition:

Making Video Dance is a seminal work, the first of its kind for screendance/dance film educators. When Making Video Dance arrived on the scene, it soon became the pre-eminent resource for those interested in exploring the practice of making dance films. I whole-heartedly support the revision/additions to Making Video Dance, as its subject has only become more relevant since its first publication.

- Ellen Bromberg, Distinguished Professor, University of Utah

Katrina McPherson's Making Video Dance helped define the field. With this updated version, she once again implores us to think deeply about the process of bringing dance to the screen.

- Douglas Rosenberg, author of Screendance: Inscribing the Ephemeral Image and The Oxford Book of Screendance Studies.

Ever since it was first published, undergraduate and postgraduate screendance makers at Bath Spa University and beyond have found Making Video Dance an invaluable resource. For practical guidance in this exciting field of practice, I know of no other publication that covers the subject so well. This revised addition still contains the original wealth of information, but adds insight into the author's considerable experience in the field through anecdotes and thoughtful reflections.

- Dr Christopher Lewis-Smith. Course Director Postgraduate Dance, Bath Spa University.

Making Video Dance is indispensable reading for anyone interested in broadening their perception of what screendance is and how to make it, from one of the most innovative filmmakers in the field. As you read this book, heed the words of Master Yoda, You must unlearn what you have learned, and it will forever change your approach to shooting and editing dance.

- Ben Estabrook, director, lecturer at UC Berkeley, Department of Theater, Dance, and Performance Studies.
