I just came across an amazing book, that is really apt for the work we were pursuing in the lab, and that I hope you all continue to explore. Quote from the book, "Research seems to show that the ability to get a handle on the world is closely allied to the ability to handle it physically, with palm and thumb and fingers.1 Similarly, in the studio, our research-project saw dance makers thinking not in words but through a language of movement and mass, of pauses in space and time, advances, realign- ments. As a work of ‘bodymind’, choreography creates consciousness in forms that can hardly be translated into words."
Thinking in Four Directions: Creativity and Cognition in Contemporary Dance by Robin Grove, Catherine Stevens and Shirley McKechnie
I downloaded it as an ebook (it has video links as well) from MUP
