"As a study in humble, open, interdisciplinary exploration, this is a sensitive and artful text that aligns content and form to weave together issues of mythic resonance, marginalisation, mapping and art-making. It will appeal especially to dance and music scholars and to those within cultural studies more generally. The form of the text hovers and settles in the reader's understanding; it captures the central themes in its shape. The Minotaur, the authors' trope, acts as the very thread of which we are reminded, taking us in and amongst meanings. The interspersed 'Movement Snacks' invite not only an 'entering into' that renders the reading of the book something akin to an event or happening, they also let the reader consider Leith's Radical Rest from an embodied perspective. This book is timely and expansive, not shying away from thinking related to technology and the body, whilst unabashedly lamenting and politicising the undervaluing of the latter." -- Georgie Cockburn, Centre for Dance Research and Community Dance Artist, UK "A sonorous study of the labyrinth of silence and its powerful collaboration in the choreography of life. Artpradid and Johnson reveal silence as far from empty and far from broken.
