Drawing support from theorists and artists who embrace matter as dynamic and agential, this book offers a visionary definition of dance that illuminates its constitutive work in the ongoing evolution of human persons. Why We Dance introduces a philosophy of bodily becoming that posits bodily movement as the source and telos of human life. Within this philosophy, dance appears as an activity that humans evolved to do as the enabling condition of their best bodily becoming. Weaving theoretical reflection with accounts of lived experience, this book positions dance as a catalyst in the development of human consciousness, compassion, ritual proclivity, and ecological adaptability. Aligning with trends in new materialism, affect theory, and feminist philosophy, as well as advances in dance and religious studies, this work reveals the vital role dance can play in reversing the trajectory of ecological self-destruction along which human civilization is racing. 606 $aDance$xPhilosophy 606 $aDance$xSocial aspects 615 0$aDance$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aDance$xSocial aspects. 676 $a793.301 700 $aLaMothe$b Kimerer$01630379 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910817031703321 996 $aWhy We Dance$93968665 997 $aUNINA
