[Image Description: Blue text on a white background reads: 'The nature of the body: somatics, poetics, art and therapy with Miranda Tufnell and Eva Karczag (2011)'. Underneath, in white text it reads: 'The two artists speak sensitively about their own long practices and collaborations through the body, and their search for ‘a wholistic approach to this body-mind being’. In a meandering conversation, they move through the Alexander technique, explore the roots of the word soma, poetics of movement practice and the wild allure of watching a performer who is tasting each moment.
