Mindful Movement de Martha Eddy

Mindful Movement

Autor Martha Eddy
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 iul 2017

Relevanța lucrării Mindful Movement pentru programele de certificare în terapie somatică și pentru curriculumul universitar de studii coregrafice este fundamentală, oferind cadrul teoretic necesar înțelegerii disciplinei. Apreciem modul în care Martha Eddy sintetizează 15 ani de cercetare pentru a cartografia un domeniu aflat la intersecția dintre fitness, ecologie și politică. Volumul este structurat în două părți majore: prima investighează influențele istorice și dezvoltarea educației somatice, de la tehnicile fondatorilor până la rădăcinile asiatice și africane, în timp ce a doua parte analizează emergența terapiilor moderne și expansiunea acestora în mediul academic britanic și american. Descoperim aici o perspectivă interdisciplinară ce reunește contribuții ale experților din diverse arii, evidențiind rolul central al dansului în modelarea artelor somatice. Mindful Movement acoperă aceeași arie tematică precum volumul Moving Consciously de Sondra Fraleigh, însă se diferențiază printr-o abordare mai istorică și sistemică, punând accent pe evoluția generațiilor de tehnici și pe impactul lor social. În contextul operei autoarei, această lucrare funcționează ca un fundament teoretic pentru aspectele practice explorate în The Fluid Nature of Being sau în ghidul Dynamic Embodiment® of the Sun Salutation, oferind contextul cultural și științific necesar pentru înțelegerea proceselor de întrupare conștientă.

Descriere scurtă

In Mindful Movement, exercise physiologist, somatic therapist, and advocate Martha Eddy uses original interviews, case studies, and practice-led research to define the origins of a new holistic field—somatic movement education and therapy­—and its impact on fitness, ecology, politics, and performance. The book reveals the role dance has played in informing and inspiring the historical and cultural narrative of somatic arts. Providing an overview of the antecedents and recent advances in somatic study and with contributions by diverse experts, Eddy highlights the role of Asian movement, the European physical culture movement and its relationship to the performing arts, and female perspectives in developing somatic movement, somatic dance, social somatics, somatic fitness, somatic dance and spirituality, and ecosomatics.

Recenzii

"Mindful Movement, the first comprehensive and large-scale study of somatic education, will surely become a foundational account in the field. It clearly and convincingly demonstrates the importance, breadth, and wide-ranging implications of somatic work. This book, doubtlessly a work of years of meticulous research and personal engagement with somatic practices, abounds in inspiring pathways for future scholars, educators, and students of somatics. Eddy's text helps to further establish, validate, solidify, and clarify this exciting field."
 

"Eddy’s material is valuable, tracing the history and geography of somatics from its origins in Europe to its flowering in twentieth-century North America, where primary exponents have included such pioneers as F.M. Alexander, Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen, and Moshe Feldenkrais. The book provides charts, interviews, first-person testimonials, and photographs, and it includes several chapters written by other people, such as Rebecca Nettl-Fiol’s 'How Dance Has Helped Situate Academic Fields of Somatic Inquiry: Case Study University of Illinois-Urbana.' Anyone planning to teach either dance or somatics—actually, anyone with a body—will find useful information here."

"Eddy's considerable expertise in both movement science and varied somatic practices, along with 15 years of case study, practice-oriented research, and personal interviews research, results in a rich investigation of the somatic arts. Eddy is also responsible for the development of the somatic program entitled 'Body/Mind Dancing,' which provides additional depth of expertise and context throughout the book. . . . Eddy's extensively-researched book on approaches to kinesthetic intelligence and embodied understanding, together with its comprehensive bibliography, serves to greatly inform and enrich the literature in this multi-faceted field."
 

"Mindful Movement is a thoughtful and comprehensive chronicle of the history of the field of somatic movement education as well as a critical and conscious call to future steps and advocacy. . . . This book is an asset to dance/movement therapists by identifying the multiple roots of somatic education. The book also begins to name the ways in which somatic education both intersects and differs from DMT and how each field can inform the other."

“In Mindful Movement Eddy comprehensively draws together a rich array of past and present identities from across the globe to explicate the diverse and multifaceted rhizomatic growth of what is viewed as contemporary somatics practice. Representing some fifteen years in the writing but more than fifty years in gestation, this book is also a highly personalized account of Eddy’s lifetime commitment to movement and dance prior to specializing in her somatic-based therapeutic and educational practice. With a focus on somatic-based learning to increase the ability in participants to communicate effectively through the body, this book will be of interest to educators in both dance and drama. . . . The text is replete with excerpts from original interviews conducted by Eddy with practitioners steeped in knowledge and experience within their somatic discipline.”
