When Body Space Image was first published in 1990, it was hailed as a groundbreaking work, marking the beginning of a new genre in the field of improvisation. The book's unique approach, through a narrative of discovery, set the reader's mind free from the constraints of everyday perception, offering a fresh perspective on improvisation.

Body Space Image was groundbreaking in its exploration of improvised movement, experimental performance, and the creation of performance settings. It combined a unique collection of images from dance, theatre, and painting with statements by working artists, creating a rich and immersive experience.

Thirty years later, Body Space Image remains a standout publication, largely due to its innovative combination of images and statements by working artists. The authors begin by focusing on the individual's movement as the foundation of improvisation, then broaden their perspective to include groups working together and the physical setting of performance, including space, light, sound, and objects.

Body Space Image delves into various ways of working and thinking about performance, inspiring both beginners and experienced artists alike. It serves as a manual intended to stimulate creativity rather than provide a comprehensive system of working. Within its pages, word and image combine to celebrate and record one of the most exacting art forms.

Originally published by Dance Books, this new edition from Triarchy Press has been slightly revised to enhance the reader's experience.
