Sacred Dances: The Gurdjieff Movements by Nella Liska is an in-depth discussion and exploration of the sacred dances that make up the Gurdjieff Movements. It will be particularly appreciated by Movements Teachers, but will also serve as a comprehensive guide to anyone who takes part in the Movements at any level. The book covers every aspect of the Movements with chapters on: Creation and Execution, A Three Centered Approach, Clothing, Positions and Exactness, Tempo and Rhythm, Balance, the spine and the brain, Sensation, Breathing and words, vibration and sound Inner Work and Energy, Gradations and Planning and more besides. The book covers all aspects of the Movements, providing a deep understanding of their practice and purpose. It discusses the relationship between the movements and objective art, and their direct connection the cosmology of the Gurdjieff Work. Liska also explores the role of children's movements in the Gurdjieff tradition, as well as the current state of the movements and their practice today. Throughout the book, the author draws on her decades of experience as a Movements teacher, providing insights and guidance based on her own practice and teaching, and what she has been taught by others, including all the Movement teachers who were involved in establishing the Movements in North America. Her extensive knowledge and expertise are evident in the depth and breadth of the material covered, making this an invaluable resource for anyone involved in The Gurdjieff Work. It is a seminal work that will likely become the de facto guide to the Scared Dances that are the Movements. It is authoritative and laced with wisdom.
