Andrea, first, run a search on something like Google or AltaVista or Excite -- or run several -- and see what you turn up.  I don't think there are books on either Kylian or Forsythe yet, at least not in English (I may well be wrong about this).  If your library has Ballett International, a bilingual English-German magazine, you'll find a lot of information about both choreographers over the years -- features and reviews.  (Also, the best bet for a research paper is to ask your research librarian at your local or school library.)

There have also been articles over the years on both choreographers in Ballet Review, Dance Now and (to a lesser extent) Dance Magazine.

Also check the appropriate company web sites -- Frankfurt Ballet for Forsythe and Nederlands Dance Theatre for Kylian.  (For the urls, go to www.balletcompanies.com  )

That's all I can think of off the top of my head.  Others?

hello azza,

there is a book called Fifty Contemporary Choreographersby Martha Bremser.  It gives about four to five pages on information on both choreographers.  In addition it lists additional  interviews and articles involving both of them.  I've found this book to be a great reference tool and am constantly looking to it.  This book focuses not only on their history but specifically their styles and methods.
