Summary + explanation about
next year
At the same time, the dance creates a very different perception of time and space for the dancer: time is marked by the rhythmic ordering of movement and by the
duration of the dance, and space is organized around the paths along which the dancer travels or around the shapes made by the body
Self-expression and physical release may thus be seen as the two basic motives for dance
For the next 8 lessons, every student talks about 2 dance pieces that is happening now, from the country he/she comes from
