The body in motion reveals what is going on beneath the radar of the mind. In Dance with Suitcase, award winning author and poet, Dawn Garisch courageously exposes the narratives that have shaped her as she moves through her life - escape and barricade, stillness and whirlwind, grief and exuberance. The book proposes that spontaneous dance is a medium of both self discovery and self-recovery, bringing playful and surprising elements into awareness.
