The collection is also designed to facilitate further research in that direction as well as to signpost alternatives that might enrich their current vocabulary.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll 12 approaches represent the praxis and research of their authors. The chapters reveal a wide variety of different interests but they share the common framework of the notion of 'body as flux', of 'no fixed or determined sense of self' and of supporting the performer's being-becoming-being as a skilful creative entity, emphasising the intelligence of the body at work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Triarchy Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47061078671600,"sku":"9781909470163","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781909470163_p0.jpg?v=1763624085","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781909470163","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
