Abstract / Summary

This book shares some of the ideas and practice developed during Cecilia Macfarlane's career in dance in the hope that it will inspire and inform dancers of all ages and experiences to discover their own dancing journeys. Written by Ruth Pethybridge and Cecilia Macfarlen whose exploration together as dancers, teachers and writers has been a dancing journey in itself. Chris Benstead’s music and Roly Carline’s illustrations are integral to the book, offering the reader another perspective to enhance the imagination alongside the text to further the dance.

We haven’t written a book only for technique, only for creativity or choreography or only for a particular age group. Throughout Cecilia's intergenerational practice all these aspects have become increasingly connected, and out of this has come ‘Any Age, Any Body, Any Dance’.
