Rhetorical Moves presents ground-breaking research theorizing for
the first time the dancer as a rhetor and in the process documents
a new way to conceive of embodiment. Research is centered in the
embodied experience of the dancer whose voice in the action of
performance is reclaimed. By transplanting the framework of a
rhetorical situation onto a dance performance, Dr. Cynthia
Roses-Thema analyzes how the dancer utilizes interoceptive,
exteroceptive, and proprioceptive bodily perception networks to
create onstage movement. The result has important implications for
dance professionals. If you are a dancer, this book gives you new
insight into how you negotiate the many variables of embodiment
during performance. If you are a dance teacher, this study provides
you with information on the dynamics of dancer perception and
attentional flow during the course of performance that will inform
your pedagogical practices. If you are a dance researcher, Dr.
Roses-Thema has opened a new field of inquiry into dance studies
ripe with research possibilities. Rhetorical Moves demonstrates the
depth and breadth the dancer experiences onstage and is a must read
for all dance enthusiasts.
