"I think the body is a source for giving you direction. Nobody can feel the inside of my body, and yet is an important source to figure where I place myself in society".

My guest on this episode is Ria Higler. Ria is a teacher at the Academy of Theater and Dance, in Amsterdam. Through her dance career Ria's human approach allows students -inside and outside of school, amateurs and professionals - to create their language through a deep self-awareness. Her movement research is focused on adaptation to space, and listening to the body, as means to create one's identity.

In her book “Movement Research: Stories and Journeys by Ria Higler” Ria shares her extensive career through the eyes of - what I call her - the dancing anthropologist.
