{"product_id":"dance-and-silence","title":"Dance and Silence","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e These conversations:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - question what has been silenced through the immobilisation of our bodies through movement-saving technologies;\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - discover points of convergence through silence in seemingly separate and unrelated physical, conceptual and philosophical spaces;\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - examine neglected intelligence and marginalised ways of knowing of gesture and movement\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57503633408373,"sku":"9781350472112","price":28.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781350472112.jpg?v=1786867340","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/dance-and-silence","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
