From Greek meaning "of the body," somatic describes practices that support self-reflection and healing through embodiment. Working from therapeutic or educational frameworks, somatic practitioners often use movement-based techniques, including breath, dance, or exercises that foster mind-body connection (see Smith; meditation; bodymind). While Brown and Stranges employ somatic attunement techniques, Vidrin’s partnering studies ask dancers to explore their somatic boundaries.
