Part 4a - Developing my Professional Inquiry
I wish to broaden my knowledge with my inquiry. I have a deep interest in two broad subjects ;
The Origins of Dance OR Dance is a Therapy.
The Origins of Dance
- Have we lost our focus on what original/historical/cultural dance has given us
- Why is fusion used so much today
- Is fusion dance steering us away from original/historical/Cultural Dance
- Does the fusion of multiple dance have a negative effect on the conservation of the origins of dance
- Are we losing the ability to convey the history we make today history in dance for future generations
- How do we convey in dance, today’s culture: world wide web, 3D, 3G, Space travel, our ever changing, expanding Universe
Dance is a Therapy - The Body
I have found data on Dance as a Therapy that is well documented on the values of Dance as a Therapy. Primarily this subject is based on the body.
- What are the dance therapy values professional dancers experience whilst performing to an audience
- What type of dance therapy does the audience experience whilst watching professional performers
- What type of dance therapy do non professional dancers experience whilst dancing or making movement to music
- To what extent can dance be misinterpreted as a therapy
- What are the dance styles that are considered not a therapy
I have started asking questions on FB to get my SIG going
If you think you may have a connection/link or share an interest in the above subjects it would be great to connect as a SIG. Please also blog any of your comments, suggestion or ideas to help.
