Humming the Bones: Dance as an act of survival

By Dianne Reid

Humming the Bones charts the life of Australian dance and video artist Dianne Reid as she navigates grief and transition. Uniquely structured, shifting between prose and poetry, past and present, Reid interweaves contemporary dance history with her personal journey and a present-day contemplative walking practice.

Written over the two years following her mother's death, the work drops the reader into visceral description, bringing the visual to life through the choreography of the written word.
