Rezensionen

"In this very impressive book Nixon weaves her chosen elements together with great assuredness and creative acumen. Imagining Bodies is many things: a theoretical guide to where Lecoq and Bachelard meet; a sharing of the practical utility of air, fire, earth, and water; a primer on imagination; a personal, reflective account of a long-standing Lecoq-inspired practice; and a repository of fascinating practitioner interviews. In less capable hands, this could be a confusing mix. But here, ideas accumulate and mix in highly productive and stimulating ways for the reader."
