This collection of new essays explores the many ways in which writing relates to corporeality and how the two work together to create, resist or mark the body of the "Other." Contributors draw on varied backgrounds to examine different movement practices. They focus on movement as a meaning-making process, including the choreographic act of writing. The challenges faced by marginalized bodies are discussed, along with the ability of a body to question, contest and re-write historical narratives.

Brynn Wein Shiovitz is a lecturer in the department of theatre at UCLA and dance at Chapman University in Orange County, California. Her writing about dance has appeared in Dance Chronicle, Dance Research Journal, Theatre Survey, Jazz Perspectives and Women and Performance.
