“The wisdom of insecurity”
An essay published in A Life in Dance: A Practical Guide (May 2017), a book written by dancer, choreographer, and professor Rebecca Stenn and dancer, producer, and consultant Fran Kirmser. The first half of the book delivers informative and personal narratives from approximately 40 dancers, including Gabri Christa. The second half of the book offers a resource guide for dancers.
from the AUTHORS
The idea for the book came about as Stenn and Kirmser listened to and engaged with groups of graduating college students in the arts, and realized, unlike dance, every other discipline has these kinds of books at their fingertips, currently and continuously. The last resource book of this kind for dance was written two decades ago. Stenn and Kirmser believe it was time for dance to have one too.
A Life In Dance aims to broaden the dancer's knowledge of the possibilities available to them by providing inspiring stories of dancers both known and unknown who have trodden these paths. It translates these stories in a tangible way with a resource guide to create a roadmap for a life in dance.
