What does it mean to give life to movement? This book answers the question through an ethnographic study and history of the Silvestre Dance Technique, created by Brazilian master teacher, dancer and choreographer Rosangela Silvestre. From the Brazilian arts movements of the 1970s to the global practice of Silvestre Technique today, the author explores the importance of understanding self-capacity and capability. The applied theory of the dance technique is explored through a series of interviews, physical practice and training.
