Choreography as Embodied Critical Inquiry - Embodied Cognition and Creative Movement (1st ed. 2022)

In this book, Shay Welch expands on the contemporary cognitive thinking-in-movement framework, which has its roots in the work of Maxine Sheets-Johnstone but extends and develops within contemporary embodied cognition theory.  Welch believes that dance can be used to ask questions, and this book offers a method of how critical inquiry can be embodied.  First, she presents the theoretical underpinnings of what this process is and how it can work; second, she introduces the empirical method as a tool that can be used by movers for the purpose of doing embodied inquiry.  Exploring the role of embodied cognition and embodied metaphors in mining the body for questions, Welch demonstrates how to utilize movement to explore embodied practices of knowing.  She argues that our creative embodied movements facilitate our ability to bodily engage in critical analysis about the world.
