This study examines the relationship of what I call "expressive physical culture" practices and contemporary health paradigms. Expressive physical culture refers to systems of health and fitness rooted in performance and expression, personal growth, and the body. Expressive physical culture promotes aspects of well-being and health frequently overlooked or impeded by biomedical professionals and academics alike.

520 $a This study examines the relationship of what I call "expressive physical culture" practices and contemporary health paradigms. Expressive physical culture refers to systems of health and fitness rooted in performance and expression, personal growth, and the body. Expressive physical culture promotes aspects of well-being and health frequently overlooked or impeded by biomedical professionals and academics alike.
520 $a In performance studies history, nineteenth-century expressionists such as Genevieve Stebbins used expressive physical culture to investigate connections between health, expression, and performance. Currently, however, contemporary biomedical practitioners do not include expression and performance practices among their concerns, and performance studies scholars do not emphasize or adequately address the health implications of these practices that constitute their field of concern. Thus, the historical concern with how expression and performance relate to health and healing has been lost.
520 $a My intent is to recover health as a potential area of scholarly exploration for performance studies scholars and to articulate the benefits of expression and performance for women's health. Ultimately, this study also proposes that Harmonic Gymnastics and Nia can serve as models for reintegrating expressive physical culture into health practices and the academy. Such a reintegration promotes more holistic scholarship. It extends interdisciplinarity by moving beyond mere cross-disciplinary applications of methods and subjects that continue to emphasize the mind as the sole source of knowledge.
520 $a In these endeavors, I analyze two expressive physical culture practices as potential models: (1) the nineteenth-century Harmonic Gymnastics system of Genevieve Stebbins; and (2) the contemporary practice of Nia developed by Debbie and Carlos Rosas. Through the thick description of new historicism, I situate Harmonic Gymnastics and Nia in a historical context with regards to performance studies history, health paradigms, and perceptions of women's health.
