Reading the Literature Review
This literature review was similar to most reviews that I have read regarding dance. Most of them focus on the performance itself. They usually talk about the audience and who was in attendance and if it were a full house or nearly empty. Then they talk about the company, where they are from, how many members, the director, how many times they have performed at the venue, etc. Next I noticed they go into detail about each piece performed in the program. This can call for long reviews or short ones, depending on the program. This involves a lot of fact but also a lot of opinion. Determining the theme of the work or the ideas behind the work... all opinion. No can really know this information other than the company members or company director. I couldn't determine a particular form of organization. Maybe thematic. It wasn't very clear. In general literature reviews are very different than anything I have ever written. Most of my papers have been fact driven and very little opinion or input. But the literature review seems to me to be facts and way more input of the author than anything else. This could be helpful for a project proposal in the case of having a scholarly opinion. It would make the proposal much stronger.
