Synopsis
It is through the sentient body that we experience, know and imagine--and so the body is perhaps the most important tool for making and experiencing art. Imaginative Bodies reaffirms the central position of the body in various artistic practices through in-depth conversations with choreographers, composers, visual artists, hip hop artists, dramaturges, a light designer and a puppeteer. The contributors discuss the place of the body in their own work, and in relation to wider debates on the body in philosophy, science, medicine, anthropology and the arts. Each artist interviewed also raises a more specific theme, ranging from poetics to politics, from mythology to ecology, from intercultural studies to conflict management. These talks give an intimate insight into the artists' creative processes, inspirations, sources, identities and ways of collaborating.

From the Back Cover
Imaginative Bodies contains a series of in-depth conversations with dancers and choreographers, composers, visual artists, Hip Hop artists, dramaturgs, a lighting designer and a puppeteer. The overall theme is defined by the body, both in relation to the place it takes in the artist's work, and in relation to wider debates on the body in philosophy, science, medicine, anthropology, and the arts. Depending on the affinities of the artist, a more specific theme has been defined for each dialogue, ranging from poetics to politics, from mythology to ecology, from intercultural studies to conflict management. The associative chains of thoughts of these talks give an intimate insight into the creative process, inspirations, sources, identity, and ways of collaborating. It is through the sentient body that we experience, know and imagine. Imaginative Bodies reaffirms the central position of the body in
many artistic practices.
