Movement Medicine: Self, Social, & Soul Exploration Through Conscious Dance


Overview

Movement Medicine -Self, Social & Soul Exploration Through Conscious Dance gives us an introduction and overview of the 'Conscious' or 'freestyle' Dance, and 'Contact Improvisation Dance' that have sprung up and have been expanding in practice and popularity in the US and worldwide over the past 50 years. This growing movement inside the mainstream culture has not seen much exposure in literature. While not performative or formalized, improvisational dance styles and dance spaces are more about movement as a form of self-expression, personal, emotional & physical enjoyment, and nonverbal social interaction. The book offers a first-person, present-moment view that reveals the intimate, vulnerable, and emotional experiences of the author and her contributors. They take us into the inner world of a dancer in a fully embodied & detailed way; including moment-to-moment awareness of changing feelings, thoughts, and physical sensations; as they engage in various Conscious Dance experiences. In this author's hands, Conscious Dance venues are seen as providing an arena for self, social, and soul exploration in community. Whether one is already a dancer looking for confirmation, or simply curious to understand how unstructured dance can serve as a self-awareness, self-growth, and even therapeutic practice, the book offers rich insights for contemplation. Explored are questions about personal 'story', social engagement, cultural norms, and spiritual and social connection that promise to leave the reader feeling curious, connected, and more conscious of their own inner life.
