Today's post is not a typical book listing on the Dancing Words Blog. But, for readers who are excited about the intersection of words and dance, check out this book. Descriptionary can be used as a springboard in dance classes with students in grades 3-12 as well as college.
This "thematic" dictionary of over 600 pages is list upon list of words. There are lists of clouds, dinosaurs, cooking terms, and key words for sports such as basketball and boxing. There is lots of movement potential. Look up a category, review the list of words and definitions, and be creative with using the words as a starting point for a movement project.
Descriptionary is the kind of "reference book" to keep handy on your studio bookshelf.
