With a companion website that includes short online film episodes, this book proposes expansive ways of deconstructing and re-constituting sexuality and gender and thus more embodied and ethical ways of 'doing' life, and offers an understanding and critique of embodiment through an integration of performance, psychotherapy and feminist philosophy. BEATRICE ALLEGRANTI is a choreographer (for dance theatre and film), clinical practitioner (in the UK NHS in adult mental health, special needs schools and in private practice) and is a researcher and convener on the Dance Movement Psychotherapy MA at Roehampton University, UK. A key focus of her work is onembodiment or how we can 'be in' and develop our relationship with our bodiesthrough integrating dance movement, psychosocial and biological processes andunderstandings of human agency.
