Enacting perception
pp. 49-56
Abstract
In "Enacting Perceptions' Katan propounds dancing as a perceptual process. The chapter provides terminological clarity and distinguishes between sensations as informative sources and perceptions as interpretative. Katan inquires into the relationship between the intentionality of dancers and their felt sensuality. The chapter explores the movement research in Gaga, as a case study that demonstrates the validity of perception in the efficiency of movement. Analyzing the cognitive act that correlates detached representations and sensory information, the chapter puts forward the pragmatic procedure of attunement between sensory stimulus and intentionality.
