Suzanne Perrottet Movements / Movements

The book "Suzanne Perrottet – Movements" offers a deep insight into the life and work of the significant dancer and choreographer Suzanne Perrottet. Growing up in Geneva and trained in rhythmics by Émile Jaques-Dalcroze, Perrottet was a key figure in the development of modern expressive dance. Her collaboration with Rudolf von Laban and Mary Wigman led to the discovery of the importance of natural movements and gestures. This work presents an extensive archive of over 10,000 images that Perrottet compiled over more than sixty years. This collection, consisting of cut-out images of movements, gestures, and facial expressions, is a unique document of the art of movement and provides valuable insights for dancers, actors, and anyone interested in the expressive power of the body. The book is not only a tribute to Perrottet's life's work but also an important reference for the study of movement.
