Sinossi

Forbidden Moves explores the intriguing and often controversial world of dance, examining techniques considered extreme, dangerous, or culturally inappropriate. The book delves into the biomechanics of dance, revealing how pushing physical limits can lead to injuries, while also investigating the cultural and social contexts that define acceptable movement. Did you know that some dance movements have been historically censored due to religious or political ideologies? This book uniquely combines scientific rigor with cultural awareness, encouraging critical thinking about the responsibilities of dancers, choreographers, and audiences.

 
The book's approach is multifaceted, drawing on scientific research, historical documents, and firsthand accounts. It begins by establishing a foundation with definitions and key concepts, then explores specific dance styles and case studies, such as hyper-extended backbends. The book analyzes examples of movements that have been either banned, heavily restricted, or debated for their potential harm or cultural insensitivity.

 
Finally, it synthesizes these observations to offer guidelines for responsible dance practice, choreography, and performance, providing practical advice for injury prevention, ethical collaboration, and culturally informed artistic expression.

Druid Theatre - Fifty Years

Patrick Lonergan

This fully illustrated and authorised history marks fifty years of one of Ireland's most ground-breaking and successful theatrical ensembles. Founded in 1975, Druid is a touring theatre company, anchored in the West of Ireland and looking to the world.
Druid began as a bold idea: to create Ireland's first professional theatre company outside of Dublin. There were few resources with which to achieve such an undertaking in the West of Ireland in 1975. Through sheer dedication, and with the support of the Galway community, founders Garry Hynes, Marie Mullen and Mick Lally – alongside a protean ensemble of actors, crew and supporters – made this bold idea a reality. That reality has since become an international success story of extraordinary dimensions.
In this comprehensive history of the company, Patrick Lonergan weaves together decades of personal stories, archival material, anecdotes, memories and performances into a fascinating and illuminating portrait of one of the most vital institutions in Ireland's theatrical landscape.
