Beschreibung

While the body appears in almost all cultural discourses, it is nowhere as visible as in dance. This book captures the resurgence of the dancing body in the second half of the twentieth century by introducing students to the key phenomenological, kinaesthetic and psychological concepts relevant to both theatre and dance studies.

Über den Autor

Sabine Sörgel is Senior Lecturer in Dance and Theatre at the University of Surrey, UK.
