Description

Improvised Dance (in)corporeal Knowledges

This book reframes the practice of improvised dance by exploring its technical aspects and the elusive yet vital dimensions of expertise. By drawing on theories of affect, embodied cognition, somatics, and dance, it offers a new narrative of the history and current practice of Western improvised dance.

Written for both dance scholars and practising artists, this book provides an alternative perspective on the epistemology of improvised dance, shedding light on its (in)corporeal knowledges that are essential to refining expertise in this complex field.
