Embodiment and Somatic Awareness
From DanceResource.org
Embodiment and somatic awareness are foundational to conscious dance. These interrelated concepts emphasize a direct, lived experience of the body from within—not just as an object that moves, but as a source of intelligence, sensation, and presence. In conscious dance, movement begins with awareness. Dancers are invited to shift attention inward, listen deeply to physical sensation, and respond authentically through intuitive motion.
