Synopsis

"Beyond Words" describes a programme of movement observation and analysis intended to lend new insights into non-verbal communication. It combines text and photographs to provide readers with the means to improve awareness of movements and their significance. By emphasizing the process of movement, as opposed to dwelling solely on the static "body language" of past studies, this book aids in the expansion of kinesthetic awareness, the ability to recognize what is communicated uniquely in the widely varying motions of individuals. It is therefore a personal science as well as a new frontier in established arts and sciences such as psychology, anthropology, cognitive science, education, art, and dance.
