I am interested to know....
I have been really interested in developments over the years in Mirror Neurons and Science based research on spectatorship or audience response, but I wonder 'what can science not explain?' and why are we looking to science to explain or prove what we know or feel within our bodies? There are n-number of things that might make my brain activity wild, equally my heart race and give my muscles a sense of action or cause my skin to sweat. So whilst science may prove these things it does not…

Dance Genres 6 Replies
Hello! I am currently doing some research on how specific genres of dance affect an audience. My main theory is that rhythm heavy dances with intense emotional investment affect an audience more intensely than dances where technical control is key. So the main battle is Cherokee tribal dance vs. ballet or contemporary dance. It seems almost obvious that more intense dances affect people more but is it right to distinguish the intensity of a dance by the rhythm and emotional ties. Obviously a…Continue
