The dancing body as a means of expression

Einav Katan

pp. 179-185

Katan analyzes the dancing body as a means of expression. The chapter deals with the expressions of bodily movements, focusing on a case study from the opening sequence in Bellus, choreographed by Ohad Naharin and performed by Erez Zohar. The discussion integrates between the body as a medium for perception and of realization. Following aesthetic theories and the analyses in the former parts of the book, Katan propounds the comprehension of imminent integration between the perceptual processes of dancers, as an act of articulation, and the expressivity of bodily movements.
