(2016) Embodied philosophy in dance, Dordrecht, Springer.
The chapter inquires into the expressive impact of dance forms in Batsheva Dance Company"s dances. Katan describes physical dynamics from the opening solo of Bellus, a part of Ohad Nahrin's choreography, Three. The chapter follows the bodily movements from an experimental point of view of a spectator of the dance. Analyzing the expressive impact of the actual motion, the chapter draws attention to parallel qualities between the perceptual process of the dancer and the expressive implications of his movements. The chapter questions the influence of Gaga practice on the expressivity of dance forms. The questions raised here put forth the inquiries in the following chapters of "The Moving Forms of Dancing Gaga."
