Produktbeschreibung

Dunya's intense passion for dance took her from a small seaside New England town in 1972 to the Juilliard School in the heart of NYC's vibrant, edgy art scene. A decade later, healing from a serious injury, she turned away from a successful performing career and retreated to a monastic mountaintop community directed by a charismatic Iraqi Sufi Master a sojourn that opened a mysterious, beautiful inner world, and an understanding of dance as moving prayer. Her path became Dancemeditation. Part dance memoir, part erotic memoir, and part guidebook, this rich account of life in the body takes dance beyond performance into a transformative realm where the physical, emotional and spiritual powerfully entwine.

Skin of Glass is a travelogue inside the body, both subtle and solid-a journey into the sensation of living in motion. The narrative offers the author's personal journey as well as the embodying practices she used to explore her experience of self. It is a beautifully written, powerful companion for those engaged in the seeking self knowledge.
