Type: article
Abstract: This article concerns embodiedknowledge closely connected todance experience. I position myresearch project primarily on threeautobiographic dance narrativesconcerning my involvement withthe dance genre known as contactimprovisation (CI). In making theargument that practicing CI createsexperience and knowledge that becomeembedded in the body, I attempt to givethe dancing body an “audible voice”,and apply theoretical concepts that arehelpful in interpreting and elaboratingmy narratives.
