Description
Falling Through Dance and Life by Emilyn Claid explores the concept of falling as a means of reconfiguring our relationship with living and dying. Drawing from her personal and professional experiences, Claid examines alternative approaches to being present in the world. In this thought-provoking book, Claid delves into the interplay between gravity and the body, revealing how somatic intentional falling can be a creative resource for developing self and environmental support. Through eclectic discussions, she uncovers connections to shame, laughter, trauma, ageing, and the thrill of release, challenging Western culture's fixation on uprightness and supremacy. By weaving together autobiographical, poetic, philosophical, descriptive, and theoretical voices, Claid questions the status quo and invites readers to reconsider their relationship with gravity and the world around them.
