Sondra Fraleigh is a professor emeritus of the Department of Dance at State University of New York College at Brockport. She is the editor of Moving Consciously: Somatic Transformations through Dance, Yoga, and Touch and the author of Butoh: Metamorphic Dance and Global Alchemy.

"The somatic movement field is growing rapidly and these authors are well suited to represent its diversity of theories and applications. Through their vast experience they provide a range of perspectives that demonstrates the full scope of somatic phenomena. A wonderful introduction to the more philosophical strand of somatic inquiry."--Martha Eddy, founding director of Dynamic Embodiment SMT and Moving for Life/The Center for Kinesthetic Education "Full of passion, care, and creative spirit, this book brings the depth and scope of somatic movement into view and should be read by all artists, scholars, and students interested in working closely with their embodied dancing selves."--Vida L. Midgelow, author of Reworking the Ballet: Counter-Narratives and Alternative Bodies "I was impressed with the organization, structure, and meticulousness of Moving Consciously. It will be a welcome addition to the growing literature in the field."--Rebecca Nettl-Fiol, author of Dance and the Alexander Technique: Exploring the Missing Link "There is not another publication that so completely addresses the merging of dance, somatics, and phenomenological practice. Beautifully written, well conceived, thought provoking, and reflective. It will become one of the new and long lasting 'must reads' in the field."--Becky Dyer, School of Film, Dance and Theatre, Arizona State University "The care Fraleigh has taken to guide the reader through the different contributions, framed by her own writing, makes this a very readable and accessible book that is likely to appeal to a wide range of readers, particularly dance teachers, body work practitioners and students."--Dance Research
