{"product_id":"dance-and-silence","title":"Dance and Silence","description":"The age of humans has gotten increasingly loud in terms of literal sound and environmental impact. Recognising silence as a disappearing ontological value, there is grief around our loss, but there is also a greater desire for opportunities to experience silence in its various diverse forms. 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.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58470608339279,"sku":"9781350472112","price":57.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0061\/0372\/8217\/files\/9781350472112_1-dance-and-silence.jpg?v=1786652226","url":"https:\/\/www.suomalainen.com\/products\/dance-and-silence","provider":"Suomalainen.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
