People Under Three
People Under Three is an established text for all those training to work with young children or managing day care facilities."--Jacket.
People Under Three
People Under Three translates child development theory and research into everyday practice. Focusing on the group day care of very young children, it is designed specifically for those who look after them day by day, as well as policy makers, administrators and the managers of the child care services. All the practical ideas in the book have been developed and tested in nurseries and family centres. They include detailed guidance on educational play for babies and toddlers and how to care for children’s emotional needs. The book also explores the difficult area of child protection and working with parents and children with a variety of problems. This book is an established text for all those training to work with young children or managing day care facilities. This new edition has been completely updated to take account of the expansion and radical changes that have taken place in childcare care provision since the book was first published and includes new material on assessing the quality of care and short-term and intermittent care.
Mastering Movement
Like Picasso in painting, Stravinsky in music, or Stanislavski in theatre, Rudolf Laban (1879–1958) has been a seminal influence in contemporary arts. This is the first major study of Laban's movement theories and practice, exploring the ideas on mastering movement and giving the reader a practical understanding of balance and harmony in the human body – the core of Laban's thinking. John Hodgson looks at the different phases of Laban's life and writings to show that Laban's thoughts about human movement and its mastery and control are the building blocks for a practical understanding of how the human body can create both beauty and purity through movement.

Making Dance Special
First Published in 1998. This book sets the foundations for educational dance in relation to pupils with wide-ranging learning needs. It takes seriously the notion of 'dance for all' and explores a developmental approach for taking movement into dance, with strategies to enable learners of all abilities to progress in the context of National Curriculum requirements. It is grounded in the work of Veronica Sherborne and dovetails her developmental creative movement programme with the framework for educational dance pioneered by Rudolf Laban.
Dance Words
In her unique collection of the verbal language of dance practitioners and researchers, Valerie Preston-Dunlop presents a comprehensive view of people in dance: what they do, their movement, their sound, and the space in which they work - from the standpoint of the performers, choreographers, audiences, administrators, and teachers. The words and phrases of their technical and vernacular languages, which are used to communicate what is essentially a non-verbal activity, have been collected in rehearsal classes and workshops by interviews, and from published sources. In this first collection of its kind Valerie Preston-Dunlop extends her selection of verbal language to include the various social and theatrical domains of dance.
