In this article I explore the experiences of three dance artists living and working in Palestine through the concept of 鈥渆mbodied agency.鈥� Based on fieldwork in Palestine and a decade of professional engagement as a dancer and choreographer with the Palestinian dancing community, I examine how the body鈥攖hrough the practice of dance鈥攃reates movement in the artists鈥� lives. Th e article highlights how embodied and expressive spaces of dance expand the artists鈥� possibilities and room for maneuver. I argue that in the context of protracted occupation, like Palestine, where individuals have little possibility to impact their situation, zooming into the body can be a powerful way to identify spaces where it is possible to have influence on oneself and others.
