One of my favorite posts each year is this one - a list of books on dance, arts education, arts administration, and somatics. Please add a Comment if there are titles missing here. I am always on the lookout, and got to read many of the titles below throughout the year.
As much as I could, the hyperlinks here go to bookshop.org or to a publisher.
I hope you find a title or two you want to explore in the new year!
