Rhetorical Moves presents ground-breaking research theorizing for the first time the dancer as a rhetor and in the process documents a new way to conceive of embodiment. Research is centered in the embo-died experience of the dancer whose voice in the action of per-formance is reclaimed. By transplanting the framework of a rhetorical situation onto a dance performance, Dr. Cynthia Roses-Thema analy-zes how the dancer utilizes interoceptive, exteroceptive, and proprio-ceptive bodily perception networks to create onstage movement. The result has important implications for dance professionals. If you are a dancer, this book gives you new insight into how you negotiate the many variables of embodiment during performance. If you are a dance teacher, this study provides you with information on the dynamics of dancer perception and attentional flow during the course of per-formance that will inform your pedagogical practices. If you are a dance researcher, Dr. Roses-Thema has opened a new field of inquiry into dance studies ripe with research possibilities. Rhetorical Moves demonstrates the depth and breadth the dancer experiences onstage and is a must read for all dance enthusiasts.
