Practicing Dance. A Somatic Orientation
Review: "It is though this broad understanding of somatics that Coogan and her contributers skillfully illuminate how und why somatics can bei egaged as a pedagogical orientatation to advance a training practice that can facilitate today's contemporary dancers to be as adept as possible when encountering the complex challenges of their chosen profession." Sherrie Barr, MFA, CMA; In: Journal of Dance Education 17 (4), p. 165
"Gracefully, it offers in equal measure scaffolding for future empirical studies and springboards for experiential discovery." Malaika Sarco-Thomas, School of Performing Arts, University of Malta; In: Journal of Dance & Somatic Practices, p. 130-13
Content: Within the framework of the research project InnoLernenTanz at the Palucca University of Dance Dresden, in this book Jenny Coogan – professor of contemporary dance at the same institution – offers a forum in which she and guest authors consider questions such as:
- How are the parameters crucial to the understanding of contemporary dance, such as personal agency, actually embodied?
- How does the German system of dance education foster such parameters?
- How can somatic approaches contribute to encouraging dancers to experience their education from a first-person perspective of authority with enhanced self-reliance, self-reflection, and social consciousness?
