Description

Sondra Fraleigh explores the relationships between self, world, and earth to understand the experience of being alive and corporeal in this thought-provoking work. Somatics in Dance, Ecology, and Ethics delves into the ways somatics can help people feel well, practice empathetic communication, and recognize the unpredictable edges of experience as they move.

Drawing on a wide range of intellectual influences, including phenomenology, Buddhism, butoh, dialogics, aesthetics, poetry, feminism, and ecology, Fraleigh develops a philosophy of an ethical world gaze that promises to enliven the senses. An interview with Amanda Williamson complements the chapters, offering further insights into the power of somatics.

Through her work, Sondra Fraleigh reveals the body as a site of spiritual qualities and embodiment, where we can dance and sing our dispositions into being. This book is an essential resource for anyone interested in movement, philosophy, or the human experience.
