Tamara Williams answers this question through an ethnographic study and historical mapping of the Silvestre Dance Technique created by Brazilian master teacher, dancer, and choreographer, Rosangela Silvestre. In the first book solely dedicated to Silvestre Technique, Williams illustrates how the applied theory of the triangles of inspiration, expression and balance of training can lead to self-actualization through implementation in daily life practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e   From the Brazilian arts movements of the 1970s, to the sociopolitical themes of the Blocos Afros, to the global practice of Silvestre Technique presently, the author explores the impact of the Body Universe in understanding self-capacity and capability. Williams investigates the functionality of the technique through a series of interviews, physical practice, and training.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments\tix\u003cbr\u003eForeword by Lela Aisha Jones\t1\u003cbr\u003ePreface\t5\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\t9\u003cbr\u003e   I.\tAfrican-Brazilian Culture in the 1970s and the History of Silvestre Technique\t21\u003cbr\u003e  II.\tCreating Possibilities: An Approach to Silvestre Technique\t35\u003cbr\u003e  III.\tPracticing the Technique\t43\u003cbr\u003e  IV.\tConceptualizations of Silvestre Technique\t65\u003cbr\u003e   V.\tDefinition of Silvestre Terms and Positions\t87\u003cbr\u003e  VI.\tIntroductory Sequences for Silvestre Dance Technique Class\t107\u003cbr\u003e VII.\tMethodology and Pedagogy\t232\u003cbr\u003eVIII.\tSelf-Actualization\t248\u003cbr\u003eAfterword\t257\u003cbr\u003eAppendix\t259\u003cbr\u003eBibliography\t269\u003cbr\u003eIndex\t273","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Co Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51040443466071,"sku":"9781476674322","price":27.54,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781476674322.jpg?v=1750946766","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/giving-life-to-movement-9781476674322","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
