[ send me this paper ]
17 pages in
length. Within dance, as within architecture, there is a
continuum between space and time. As a dancer dances, the
central part of the body is in unique correlation with the limbs,
and the spatiality between all parts creates an art form which is
the dance itself. The dance is not merely a series of movements,
just as architecture is not merely a series of buildings. The
entirety of the work is determined not only by the positive
spaces, i.e., the body or the buildings, but by the negative
spaces as well. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
