Know about the book -

What a Body Can Do is written by Ben Spatz and published by Routledge. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1317524705 (ISBN 10) and 9781317524700 (ISBN 13).

In What a Body Can Do, Ben Spatz develops, for the first time, a rigorous theory of embodied technique as knowledge. He argues that viewing technique as both training and research has much to offer current debates over the role of practice in the university, including the debates around "practice as research." Drawing on critical perspectives from the sociology of knowledge, phenomenology, dance studies, enactive cognition, and other areas, Spatz argues that technique is a major area of historical and ongoing research in physical culture, performing arts, and everyday life.
