An introduction to embodied movement through the work of a dance
education pioneer In this introduction to the work of somatic dance
education pioneer Nancy Topf (1942-1998), readers are ushered on a
journey to explore the movement of the body through a close
awareness of anatomical form and function. Making available the
full text of Topf's The Anatomy of Center for the first time in
print, this guide helps professionals, teachers, and students of
all levels integrate embodied, somatic practices within contexts of
dance, physical education and therapy, health, and mental
well-being. Hetty King, a movement educator certified in the Topf
Technique (R), explains how the ideas in this work grew out of
Topf's involvement in developing Anatomical Release Technique-an
important concept in contemporary dance-and the influence of
earlier innovators Barbara Clark and Mabel Elsworth Todd, founder
of the approach to movement known as "ideokinesis." Featuring
lessons written as a dialogue between teacher, student, and
elements of the body, Topf's material is accompanied by twenty-one
activities that allow readers to use the book as a self-guided
manual. A Guide to a Somatic Movement Practice is a widely
applicable entry point into the tradition of experiential anatomy
and its mindful centering of the living, breathing body.
