Welcome the Stranger Within
Welcome the stranger within is a short video danced poem which draws on embodied and poetic ways of inquiry to express the welcoming of all parts of oneself. Integrating contemporary dance and poetry, it is a site-specific performance taken on Denman Island in British Columbia, Canada. The performer, Celeste Nazeli Snowber, explores how one can have a call and response with the earth and open an embodied understanding through cultivating a relati…
Water Stories
This poetic article explores the relationship between water and ecology and how an embodied awareness and insights surface out of the practice of swimming. The connections between the inner and outer landscapes of waterways and the land are written into being as they nourish embodied resonances. Moving and writing are inextricably linked and open a syntax of poetry and prose founded in the rhythm of a swimming practice. Themes of yearning, longin…
Dancesong
Dancesong is a reflective article that explores the author’s somatic and dance practice in times of isolation in a pandemic: walking, dancing and writing in sites in proximity to her home. On the edge of wild and urban landscapes as well as the inner landscape of fragility, she takes her feet walking as a way of opening up attention and exploring the intimacy of embodied ways of inquiry. Mud, sea, soil and flora become the terrain where these som…

The article is in itself a dance consisting of five movements which trace the journey of a liturgical dance artist from theology to…

Listening to the sensual knowing and aliveness within the body can inform our personal and professional lives and reveal the connections between living, being, and creating. Snowber writes this book in poetic and visceral language as a love letter from the bod…
Writing Rhythm
As choreographers, dancers, and researchers, the authors explain how choreography and self-reflective writing inform qualitative practices such as articulating the importance of the self as a place of discovery within the research process. The authors use choreography to explore dance as a place of inquiry and the body as a site for knowledge and to examine how this awareness influences their interpretation of educational research. They conclude …
