What does a musical theatre choreographer actually do? They just 'make up the steps', right? This book firstly debunks the misunderstandings around what musical theatre choreographers actually do, demonstrating their need to have an in-depth understanding of storytelling, music theory, performance practices and plot structure in order to create movement that enhances and enlivens the musical. Secondly, it equips the musical theatre choreographer with all the tools needed to create nuanced, informed and inspired movement for productions, through structured activities that build specific skills (such as 'notating the script' and 'scoring the score'). Traditionally, this training has been something of a series of secrets, passed from mentor to apprentice. The author demystifies the process to make the previously undisclosed “tricks of the trade” accessible to all choreographers, everywhere. Covering the entire process of choreographing a musical from the first script reading to the final curtain call, this book makes case for the absolute integrity of the choreographer to any musical theatre production and sets out the theoretical principles of choreography alongside the practical application during every step of the production process.

Each year, for generations, poor, ill-clad Newfoundland fishermen sailed out “to the ice” to hunt seals in the hope of a few pennies in wages from the prosperous merchants of St. John’s. The year 1914 witnessed the worst in the long line of tragedies that were part of their harsh way of life. For two long days and nights a party of seal hunters—132 men—were left stranded on an icefield floating in the North Atlantic in winter. They were thinly dressed, with almost no food, and with no hope of shelter against the snow or the constant, bitter winds. To survive they had to keep moving, always moving. Those who lay down to rest died. This is an incredible story of bungling and greed, of suffering and heroism. With the aid of compelling, contemporary photographs, the book paints an unforgettable portrait of the bloody trade of seal hunting among the icefields when ships—and men—were expendable.

Widows have always been categorized as women who have become vulnerable and volatile, as they lacked the solid presence of a male to guarantee their social, economic and psychological survival. Widows, in Biblical times, were alienated in society. Their reality was aggravated by the fragile nature of their existence, since by law they had no legal rights to the inheritance of their late husband's property. Remarkable then that Ruth and Naomi connived to obtain their freedom from constricting legal and religious practices. In adapting their story from the biblical narrative, Naomi became the principal character, mentor and role model for Ruth. Armies of testosterone fuelled militia roam the world today as they did long ago. Mass rapes, slavery, enforced prostitution, genital mutilation, violence and sexual abuse of women and children are all to common occurrences. My admiration for Naomi was my inspiration. I feel I know her only too well. This is her story, told as I feel only she would wish to tell it.
