The writings of six choreographers are assembled in this book and the leap they have taken to go from the medium of choreography into written text constitutes a form of translation. Some of the texts investigate the possibilities of written language as invention, others use it as a means to illustrate specific tenets or describe choreographic projects. All yield insight into the process of coaxing language from the body.

This collection of essays aims to present a translation from the medium of chroeography to written text. They investigate the possibilities of the written language as invention, and use text as a means to illustrate specific tenets or describe choreographic projects.
