  Understanding the dancer's body is fundamental to achieving both peak performance and long-term physical health. A dancer's body is an intricate system, requiring a blend of strength, flexibility, balance, and endurance. Recognizing how these components work together is the first step toward unlocking potential and preventing injuries. 
  Anatomy plays a vital role in dance. Knowing the basic functions of muscles, joints, and bones can help dancers identify how their movements are executed. For instance, the core muscles provide stability and support, allowing for controlled motions and preventing strain on the back. Similarly, understanding the alignment of the spine and the role of the pelvic muscles can enhance posture, a critical aspect of nearly all dance forms. 
  Equally important is recognizing the challenges unique to dancers. Repetitive movements, high-impact landings, and the intense physical demands of practice and performance can lead to overuse injuries if not managed carefully. Awareness of common issues such as shin splints, tendonitis, and ligament sprains empowers dancers to address them proactively.

  Winner of IASPM Book Prize, given by IASPM, 2023Winner of the Bruno Nettl Prize, given by the Society for Ethnomusicology, 2023Joint-Winner of the Ruth Stone Prize (with Jessica Perrea), given by the Society for Ethnomusicology, 2023This book is an ethnographic study of sound archives and the processes of creative decolonization that form alternative modes of archiving and curating in the 21st century. It explores the histories and afterlives of sound collections and practices at the International Library of African Music. Sound Fragments follows what happens when a colonial sound archive is repurposed and reimagined by local artists in post-apartheid South Africa. The narrative speaks to larger issues in sound studies, curatorial practices, and the reciprocity and ethics of listening to and reclaiming culture. Sound Fragments interrogates how Xhosa arts activism contributes to an expanding notion of what a sound or cultural archive could be, and where it may resonate now and in future.

  Kaffe Fassett has led an extraordinary life and is a captivating storyteller with a vivid memory. Born in 1937, he spent much of his youth in Big Sur, California, where his parents bought a cabin from Orson Welles and transformed it into the world-famous Nepenthe restaurant, a gathering place for artists and bohemians. After attending a boarding school run by the disciples of Krishnamurti, an Indian guru, he studied painting at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, then traveled to England, where he made his home. After an inspiring trip to Inverness, Scotland, Fassett began designing knitwear for Bill Gibb, and then the Missonis, Vogue magazine, and private clients like Lauren Bacall and Barbra Streisand, and, in the process, revolutionized the handknitting world with his explosive use of color. Further explorations led him to needlepoint, mosaics, rugmaking, tapestries, yarn and fabric design, costume and set design, and quilting. Now in his seventies, Fassett continues to produce new work and to travel worldwide to teach and lecture. In this intimate autobiography, Fassett shares rich, detailed stories about his lifelong creative journey as well as hundreds of glorious photos taken along the way.
