In a multidisciplinary meeting the task is to observe the bridge between the flow of energy of the brain and the heart, the physical strength in connection to a belief and spirituality. The question is complex but let us attempt to break into the obscure and try to investigate physical images, organic bodies, inspiration and creative/ spiritual needs. The artist is not.įrom the catalog of the 4th International Festival of Contemporary DanceĬan one gain insight into bodies and minds? What is this fusion of aesthetic, ethical, biological, social and spiritual experience like? It seems that we are easily seduced by visual appearances. The scientist is committed to pursuing the truth. l read once somewhere that the difference between art and science is their relationship to truth. The neural mechanism connecting perception, emotion, faith, and creativity will lead us to appreciate, even more, the mystery of art. A journey into an artist’s psyche sharpens our understanding of their gift and their beliefs. Intimidations of mortality and the need of space bring out something special in a talented person who has no intention of going quietly. The body brain is a register of emotions and information which may find their response in contemporary art. We are living in the times of the new provocateurs where people are burning cars to redefine their lives and culture. The questions of finding a personal language or striking originality are related to the individual concept of nations or culture. We are living in rapid transformation of the notion of identity. Getting Under Skin is to see how the skills and competencies of performance experience tick from the inside.

The figures of Isadora Duncan and Vaslav Nijinsky are an example of that.ĭance and religious belief also cross each other's paths in the world of visionaries. On the other hand, on the side of science and psychology, the answer of some schizophrenic souls has been the starting point of progressing artistic ideas. The actual question: is the body, frozen in the laboratory, regarded as something to be used for medical or vanity purposes? Are we slowly becoming androids? What happens to the body in a physical state of trance during Shamanistic ritual? Dance has been related from ancient times to Dionysian traditions as a product of certain possessed spirits. How can we understand the inspiration, the possession of this energy which emerges from the anima of the artist? And again, how this transforms itself into art? The anima which animates the body moves as a catalyst of the wide spectrum of ideas and relates to the influences of the world. ![]() The rhythm of the heart is faster, the blood is running in acceleration inside of the veins, the high concentration and all the burning within provokes a sort of internal explosion which science cannot easily explain. A performer, when enters the stage ignites something mysterious in his physicality. How does it reflect in the observation of body culture? How are choreographers answering it?ĭance tries to reach a body momentum to become art. This gives us the chance to confront issues and try to understand what we are doing with our body when we have already reached a point at which we can not only reconstruct it, but remodel, redesign, transplant our face and clone it. ![]() The central point of discussion is the relationship between Body/Spirit/Science.
