Additional information
This article began as a paper presented at the international Dance and Somatic Practices conference in 2011 and was subsequently selected for publication. It takes Michael Peters’ 2003 article on Socrates and Foucault, and Foucault’s writings on the care of the self and technologies of the self, as the starting point for discussion on what it might mean in the context of dance and movement training to practise the telling of truth about oneself. This is the first article to relate Foucault’s use of Socrates’ notion of truth-speaking or parrhesia to this area of dance and movement practice.
