VAST 261 - Dance:Physically Limited or Spiritually Limitless

Institution:

Lafayette College

Subject:

Description:

Scientific analysis of dance movement requires the acceptance of the physical limitations of the human structure and laws of motion. Conversely, the tradition-laden concept embraced by dancers stresses the exploration of the body's unlimited movement potential and the rejection of physical limitations. Dance kinesiologists stress the importance of the mind-body connection, preferring a more natural, less technically demanding, movement approach. The course examines the tension among these philosophies. Murgia
