"Laminar Flow" a dance movement by Thomas J. Greenbaum |
Following my Encore Fellowship at Keshet Dance and Art Center, I participated in a unique Art/Science collaborative development of a dance movement. The teams vision led us to explore incorporating a citizen science experiment to validate the central ideas of Empathetic Coupling and Kinesthetic Empathy.
ABSTRACT
A creative project in which a diverse group of dancers and scientists investigate opportunities to collaboratively develop a dance movement evoking a common understanding of human discovery.
- Partnership with Sandia National Labs and the Weizmann Institute.
- Explore the synergy between dance and science.
- Commonality as creative human endeavors.
- Relationships between the languages of both science and art.
Empathic coupling, is coupling dependent on being physically present at a dance performance as opposed to watching a video.
Spectators of dance experience Kinesthetic Empathy when, even while sitting still, they feel they are participating in the movements they observe, and experience related feelings and ideas.
- What is kinesthetic empathy? See: Watching Dance: Kinesthetic Empathy
How does Dance through Kinesthetic Empathy AFFECT our experience of Time and INFORM our understanding of the nature of Reality?
Furthermore, if Consciousness is the new Fundamental CONSTANT of Reality, then can Dance convey this concept?"
