Description

In this book, Shay Welch expands on the contemporary cognitive thinking-in-movement framework, which has its roots in the work of Maxine Sheets-Johnstone but extends and develops within contemporary embodied cognition theory.� Welch believes that dance can be used to ask questions, and this book offers a method of how critical inquiry can be embodied.� First, she presents the theoretical underpinnings of what this process is and how it can work; second, she introduces the empirical method as a tool that can be used by movers for the purpose of doing embodied inquiry.� Exploring the role of embodied cognition and embodied metaphors in mining the body for questions, Welch demonstrates how to utilize movement to explore embodied practices of knowing.� She argues that our creative embodied movements facilitate our ability to bodily engage in critical analysis about the world.�Typham this is the title: Choreography as Embodied Critical Inquiry Embodied Cognition and Creative Movement
