Synopsis
An introduction to embodied movement through the work of a dance education pioneer In this introduction to the work of somatic dance education pioneer Nancy Topf (1942-1998), readers are ushered on a journey to explore the movement of the body through a close awareness of anatomical form and function. Making available the full text of Topf's The Anatomy of Center for the first time in print, this guide helps professionals, teachers, and students of all levels integrate embodied, somatic practices within contexts of dance, physical education and therapy, health, and mental well-being. Hetty King, a movement educator certified in the Topf Technique(R), explains how the ideas in this work grew out of Topf's involvement in developing Anatomical Release Technique--an important concept in contemporary dance--and the influence of earlier innovators Barbara Clark and Mabel Elsworth Todd, founder of the approach to movement known as "ideokinesis." Featuring lessons written as a dialogue between teacher, student, and elements of the body, Topf's material is accompanied by twenty-one activities that allow readers to use the book as a self-guided manual. A Guide to a Somatic Movement Practice is a widely applicable entry point into the tradition of experiential anatomy and its mindful centering of the living, breathing body., In this introduction to the work of somatic dance education pioneer Nancy Topf, readers are ushered on a journey to explore the movement of the body through a close awareness of anatomical form and function., An introduction to embodied movement through the workof a dance education pioneer In thisintroduction to the work of somatic dance education pioneer Nancy Topf (1942-1998),readers are ushered on a journey to explore the movement of the body through aclose awareness of anatomical form and function.

- _***s (6)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseWhen I'd originally placed this order, I had accidentally put in the wrong shipping address. However, the seller was more than helpful, and the CD arrived!! The packaging was wide open when it arrived, but luckily nothing was damaged. Additionally, there was nothing protective on the CD, so that open package made me feel kind of nervous. Otherwise, absolutely great! The customer service was awesome, and the product was as described.
- r***w (229)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseItem was lost in delivery- but after some communication, seller was understanding and provided a refund. I ordered another and had it sent elsewhere. My main issue was that it felt as if I was getting automated responses at first!! Please have humans review human inquiries!! It was painstaking explaining the situation to an A.I. who only repeats unhelpful replies. Thanks again!! Otherwise. Great price! Great seller!
- e***r (331)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseAlthough I received the incorrect book with my order (that had a title close to what I had ordered), AlibrisBooks apologized, said they could not re-send the book, and refunded my money and told me to keep the book that I had received, and either donate it or give it away, so I gave it to someone. That was very kind on their part to do that, and I would highly recommend them. Mistakes happen I get that.
