Description
How much do you know about your body? How much does your body know about you?Internationally celebrated choreographer and director Sir Wayne McGregor is renowned for his trailblazing innovations in performance. His ongoing enquiries into movement and the body have radically defined dance in the modern era. Over the past three decades, he has discovered that our intelligence lies not only in our brains, but in our bodies too. In We Are Movement, McGregor argues that physical intelligence is instinctive, pre-verbal, and continually upgrades itself. Mastering it will allow us all to release the knots in our physical and emotional selves, leaving us free to experience new forms of creativity and connection.
Drawing on his research with elite performers, athletes, cognitive neuroscientists, anthropologists and technologists, he shows how we can all become more physically fluent. Using simple steps, from practicing mindful walking to harnessing our bodies’ chemical reaction to stress, he teaches us how to become better communicators and more creative thinkers, so we can ultimately live fuller lives.
Elegant, cutting-edge and practical, We Are Movement is a user-friendly guide to priming your physical intelligence that will revolutionise the way you live your life.

Advance Praise
This book invites us to be alive, alert, and aware; to be grounded in the body and its innate intelligence - a gift to our urban animal natures - Antony Gormley
Wayne McGregor's We Are Movement celebrates the profound and often overlooked concept of physical intelligence, arguing that our bodies hold a deep, intrinsic knowledge. In this book McGregor highlights how mastering body language, and intentionally holding the space around us, can unlock extraordinary new levels of creativity and self-understanding, fundamentally revolutionising the way we live and communicate. This is an insightful book for anyone seeking to experience life with greater fluency and presence. I strongly recommend it - Carlos Acosta
