Description

This book is a narrative exploration of embodied ways of knowing through dance. Discussing theoretical perspectives such as phenomenology, feminism and postmodernism, it offers the reader a comprehensive theoretical understanding of a range of approaches within cultural and performance studies that remains grounded in personal narratives and lived experiences. By using narratives that relate to dance making, improvisation and dance pedagogy, as well as moving in the wider world, the author explores a variety of themes including cultural and personal identity, dance and performance, knowledge and power, pedagogy and activism. Comprised of nine chapters, this book is a combination of higher theoretical ideas and relatable personal and local narratives that provide the reader with a comprehensive exploration of embodied ways of knowing as a basis for their own creative action in the world.
