Sommario/riassunto

"This book provides insight into unconventional programs that employ dance to inspire a different way of thinking and intervening. A newly emerging pluralistic view of the modes of intervention is challenging the limits of classical thinking. This work is therefore intended for stakeholders in various fields of intervention and research, education, and training, as well as for dancers, dance therapists, and art therapists who deal with issues of resilience and social justice in their practice. Dance offers a space-time that enables us to look at, study, and understand humanity. It exposes bodies, their wounds as well as their



strengths; dance is a means to reflect recover differently; thus, it opens a window onto new perspectives."--
