Review
"This volume presents a marvelous and diverse group of thinkers who, as artists and scholars, are reckoning with the dancing body as a site of knowing, remembering, and performing. Their comments yield deep insights into the nature of physicality and also the rich possibilities for writing about dance." ―Susan Leigh Foster, distinguished professor in the department of world arts and cultures/dance at UCLA
"The Sentient Archive summons a feast of diverse voices, giving each the space to speak without forcing them into a single chorus. Instead, the book works like a landscape where these voices and their shimmering echoes intersect, inviting us in to join the unfinished, disappearing dance of movement and memory, of the sentient body and its archival impulse, its fragile yet insistent resistance to the slippage of time. Collectively, these voices testify to the whispers and the wild feelings in our bones that can hardly be put into words, but bear our social flesh forward." ―Elizabeth A. Behnke, Study Project in Phenomenology of the Body
