Intellect is delighted to announce the new issue of Dance, Movement and Spiritualties 1.3. 
 
This journal explores the relationship between spirituality, dance and movement. Research into spirituality receives comparatively little attention in Western dance practices. In contrast, this journal provides a platform for those practitioners and researchers who are actively and creatively working with spirituality at the centre of their practice/research. This new issue includes articles on the tribal belly dancing to a postmodern analysis of Telugu films.
 
List of articles:
