Dance and Silence
0 - Default Title
Description
This book explores the critical dynamics of silence within choreography, performance and composition, comprising a series of conversations with researchers and practitioners, including choreographer Rosemary Lee, architect Richard Dougherty, architectural historian Pérez-Gómez, Natural Horn player Isaac Shieh, neuroscientist Tony Steffert and drummer and aerialist Jonny Leitch.
These conversations:
- question what has been silenced through the immobilisation of our bodies through movement-saving technologies;
- discover points of convergence through silence in seemingly separate and unrelated physical, conceptual and philosophical spaces;
- examine neglected intelligence and marginalised ways of knowing of gesture and movement
Ultimately, we come to see how dance, embodied modes of inquiry and corporeal-based understandings within socio-cultural and ecological contexts can propose pathways in the absence of sound.
