| Summary |
"Impeccably crafted. Nicely articulates the ways in which language manifests in sensation and movement. She asks important and nuanced questions about presence and awareness of ourselves and others in changing spaces and relationships, separated by Covid, ignited by social protest. An invaluable text to gain philosophical currency for sensate experience, offering exciting new formulations for dance studies. Tanya Calamoneri, Assistant Professor, The Ohio State University, author of Butoh America In Experimental Dance and the Somatics of Language, Nicely investigates the use of language in dance practice by considering the somatics of micromovement in three phases vibration, interval, and adaptation. Nicely's ingenious move, after Deleuze, is to give language a body on the dance floor. Language, reconfigured as a source of sensation, becomes a critical analytic tool for Nicely |

to think through dance works past and present, contributing to performance studies ongoing inquiry into how speech acts. Melinda Buckwalter, Managing Director, Five College Dance, author of Composing while Dancing This book is about dances relationship to language. It investigates how dance bodies work with the micromovements elicited by languages affective forces, and the micropolitics of the thought-sensations that arise when movement and words accompany one another within choreographic contexts. Situating itself where theory meets practice--the zone where ideas arise to be tested, the book draws on embodied research in practices within the lineages of American postmodern dance and Japanese butoh, set in dialog with affect-based philosophies and somatics. Understanding that language is felt, both when uttered and when unspoken, this book speaks to the choreographic thinking that takes place when language is considered a primary element in creating the sensorium." -- Provided by publisher |
