Description
Exploring the connection between movement, dance, and consciousness, Sondra Fraleigh's Moving Consciously gathers essays that probe ideas surrounding embodied knowledge. This collection draws on scholarship and personal practice to investigate the mental and physical health benefits of experiencing one's inner world through sensory awareness and movement integration.
The book incorporates concepts from East and West into a timely look at life-changing, intertwined practices that involve dance, movement, performance studies, and education. Contributors share their perspectives on somatic practices, including methods of touch and movement that foster generative processes of consciousness.
