Description

Dance Therapy Notebook is a collection of Joan Lewin’s thoughts about her work as a dance therapist. Compiled over several years, these notes have been organized to serve as a resource and inspiration for other therapists. The overall texture of the book picks up on the idea of a journal with thin horizontal background rules that also suggest the “floor” referred to in the text. Joel Holland created the spontaneous folio collages that enhance the personal qualities of the text and provide a surprise at the bottom of each page.
