Resources

​

Let's exchange resources and expand our libraries!

Here I share with you some of the books that have been relevant throughout my research process. 

​

If you would also like to share books, articles or any other piece of writing or links related to the topics of

CIRCUS, DANCE, CHOREOGRAPHY, PHILOSOPHY, CREATIVITY, ART, DRAMATURGY, PERFORMANCE,  or anything that relates,

please feel free to do so either in the forum

or send it to me via email!

​

I will keep updating this list as I read and hear from you.

​

Thank you!!
