Abstract

The article examines the possibilities for transcending neo-liberal individuality and the fixed construction of the feminine identity by engaging the force of the active, moving body. It discusses to develop a movement practice informed both by social theory and the principles of anatomical and biomechanical analysis. It explores if it is possible to practice movement differently beyond the biopolitics of neo-liberalism.
