Falk Heinrich establishes a new theory on aesthetic experience that shifts focus from distanced contemplation to performative process based on his experience in tango dancing. From a somaesthetic perspective, the book elucidates that perceived action and enacted perception are one and the same. -Professor Tanehisa Otabe (The University of Tokyo) Based on his own experiences while dancing Argentine tango, Falk Heinrich has managed to identify a new concept of beauty that emerges in the movements of dancers. His multifaceted interpretation of this performative beauty, which has a general perspective, is highly original and will enchant the readers.--Dr. Else Marie Bukdahl, former rector of Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts.
