More DescriptionThis anthology negotiates the influential, yet silent educational presence of spiritualties within the field of Somatic Movement Dance Education internationally. The expressive and integral nature of spiritual experience remains academically undefined and peripheral to our understanding of creative practice. Lack of theoretical rigor, as well as a lack of a substantive definitional and methodological competency, has resulted in spirituality being marginalised.

This cutting-edge collection fills that void, providing greater creative and discursive clarity.
