Life On Land

Emilie Conrad's unique approach to movement education, health and healing is as varied and deeply textured as her life story. "Life on Land" gives us both, interwoven to create a picture of the author's own bodily and social education, and its evolution into the modality known as Continuum, which she teaches internationally. The book is a heady blend of experiential knowledge of her own body as it collapsed under the pressures of life and then came back stronger, and Conrad's revolutionary theories of the body-mind frontier and how we can access it for healing and self-knowledge. This true story of Conrad's childhood, coming of age and discovery of dance and other doorways to self-actualization culminates with the maturation of her theory of movement. Now in her seventies and still going strong with a full schedule of workshops and classes, Emilie Conrad puts her ideas and insights in her own full-length book for the first time.
