In an increasingly globalized world, people are traveling and migrating more than ever before. These movements of people have a profound impact on the ways in which we experience and understand our bodies. Dance, as a form of embodied expression, can offer us a unique lens through which to explore the relationship between travel, migration, and corporeality.

This book examines the ways in which dance and corporeality are shaped by the experiences of travel and migration. Through a series of case studies and theoretical essays, the contributors to this volume explore the following questions: How does dance reflect the challenges and opportunities of travel and migration? How does it shape our understanding of home, belonging, and identity? How can dance be used to promote healing and resilience in the face of displacement? In answering these questions, this book sheds new light on the complex relationship between dance, corporeality, and the human experience.
