Rezensionen
»Vor allem die anschaulichen Berichte aus der Probenpraxis und damit die Offenlegung von Wissen aus zeitgenössischen Tanzproben, das sonst meist verborgen bleibt, machen Spaß bei der Lektüre. Hier liegt insgesamt das große Potenzial von Velsingers Studie, da es sich dabei um eine der ersten Publikationen im deutschsprachigen Raum handelt, die eine künstlerische Forschung in dieser Form vermittelt.«
