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 being aware of
our body language to conquering fear he teaches us how to become better communicators and more
creative thinkers so we can ultimately live fuller lives. We all think physically - we just
haven't been paying attention. 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.
