Title: Good for page but not stage
Review: "Shakespeare and the Dance" is the only book that has been published on this subject. Brissenden analyzes almost every reference to dance in Shakespeare's plays, and makes a strong argument for dance's important role. However, there is no information on how to do dances like the galliard or the volta nor are there suggestions for how to adapt them for contemporary productions. While this is a good resource to launch your research, if you're choreographing for a Shakespeare play, you're better off with Thoinot Arbeau's "Orchesography".
