The intelligible form

Einav Katan

pp. 145-151

Abstract

Katan examines the influence of the movement research on dancing according to composed choreography. The chapter advances the comprehension of dance forms according to Gaga, indicating that in Gaga the dancers put their concentration on the process of formatting a movement. The chapter indicates the regulations of physical dynamics as the origins of forms of dance. The chapter suggests that by practicing Gaga, somatic attention becomes habitual. "The Intelligible Form" puts forwards the capacity of dancers to follow their dynamical feelings as a perceptual activity that advances their physical intelligence.
