Dance, Somatics and Spiritualities: Contemporary Sacred Narratives de Amanda Williamson

Dance, Somatics and Spiritualities: Contemporary Sacred Narratives

Editat de Amanda Williamson, Glenna Batson, Sarah Whatley, Rebecca Weber
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 27 noi 2014
Presenting a rich mosaic of embodied contemporary narratives in spirituality and movement studies, this book explicitly studies the relationship between spirituality and the field of Somatic Movement Dance Education. It is the first scholarly text to focus on contemporary spirituality within the domain of dance and somatic movement studies.
Dance, Somatics and Spiritualities brings together prominent authors and practitioners in order to elucidate how a wide range of sacred narratives/spiritualities are informing pedagogy, educational and therapeutic practice. As well as providing new insights and promoting creative/artistic awareness, this seminal text de-mystifies the spiritual/sacred and brings clarity and academic visibility to this largely uncharted and often misrepresented subject.

Notes on Contributors

Recenzii

“By addressing various notions about forms of spirituality within the contexts of meditative movement, classroom and other directed movement activities, and dance performance, the authors provide an expansive view of somatic experience and spirituality.”

“A tremendous gift for somatic practitioners, artists, teachers and all who seek to illuminate the subtle nuances of embodied life. This collection reaches wide and deep to trace the diverse contours of somatic knowing in its fullness.”

“This anthology shares a fascinating range of ideas, addressing the development of learning and perceptions of self through social, cultural and historical constructs.”

“Academics and practitioners will find stimulation for related research projects in this substantial work, which also provides a basis for literary research for students in this field.”

“Finally exists a book that offers a range of perspectives that looks academically at the numinous in dance without belittling or aggrandizing the subject. . . [The editors] have pulled together an impressive anthology of essays on a topic often overlooked. . . With its many prominent contributors, Dance, Somatics and Spiritualities provides a valuable role in intelligently discussing the place of spirituality in dance and somatic movement.”
