Abstract

As a performance art, dance uses the body as a core instrument of artistic discourse and as a way to communicate and relate to the world. Starting from the fact that dancers hold the bodies that embody dance, we intend to (re)visit authors with whom we share affinities and reflections about the body, its importance, significance and inscription in the vast domains of Dance. We take the body as the “tuned” instrument of a dancer who is able to master that body and who has the skills to create a new vocabulary for movement, thus responding more effectively and in accordance with the plurality and changeability of Dance market requests.
