Naomi- Notes on Book Task

Naomi Ben-Tovim Yeger
Book task-24th July 2007


Task 1
From the book directing post modern theatre

What I am most interested in is not the study of theory, for theories sake but, rather, how theories can be applied to solve problems or improve the actual practise or a profession.
I chose this because I wanted something that I would have to read again and a again to understand, as I wanted to start with something that didn’t make much sense to me and see where I could get with it.

From the emotional toolkit
The prizes in our society are reserved for outer, not inner achievements.
I chose this because it sounded interesting I felt it was true.




Task 2
Q1: What drew you to the book?
I didn’t really go to this book because it drew me but simply because it was the nearest one to me, the reason why I didn’t put it down though was because I started reading something I found interesting.

Q2: how did you approach the book?
I actually approached the whole space thinking about something my brother had told me, he said I should read more adult books, so I was looking for something that I didn’t particularly understand.
Flicking through, looking at the contents, looking at random pages.

Q3: did your approach to the book differ from your approach to dance?
It depends on the dance and the book, if it was a dance I rehearsed and rehearsed, then yes because I didn’t know anything about the book but all dance is always new to everyone so in that sense it didn’t differ, I approach them both with and open mind.

Q4: How did you document your interest in the book?
I copied bits that intrigued me and made small comments at the end of each section I copied.
