eResources for performance and dance research

Add academic value to your assignments by searching the following resources to locate research and other useful material on artists, performers, dancers, storytelling, theatre, dance & performance history, pre and post-production, developing your own style, choreography, set & stage design, crticism, theories and significance. Research articles and conference papers can give weight to your arguments whether you agree or disagree with the point of view of the author.
