The popularity of yoga and Zen meditation has heightened awareness
of somatic practices. Individuals develop the conscious embodiment
central to somatics work via movement and dance, or through touch
from a skilled teacher or therapist often called a somatic
bodyworker. Methods of touch and movement foster generative
processes of consciousness in order to create a fluid
interconnection between sensation, thought, movement, and
expression. In Moving Consciously , Sondra Fraleigh gathers essays
that probe ideas surrounding embodied knowledge and the conscious
embodiment of movement and dance. Using a variety of perspectives
on movement and dance somatics, Fraleigh and other contributors
draw on scholarship and personal practice to participate in a
multifaceted investigation of a thriving worldwide phenomenon.
Their goal: to present the mental and physical health benefits of
experiencing one's inner world through sensory awareness and
movement integration. A stimulating addition to a burgeoning field,
Moving Consciously incorporates concepts from East and West into a
timely look at life-changing, intertwined practices that involve
dance, movement, performance studies, and education. Contributors:
Richard Biehl, Robert Bingham, Hillel Braude, Alison East, Sondra
Fraleigh, Kelly Ferris Lester, Karin Rugman, Catherine Schaeffer,
Jeanne Schul, and Ruth Way.
