Dancing metaphors

Einav Katan

pp. 65-76

Katan offers a comprehensive perspective on movement inquires in Gaga as metaphoric implications. The chapter follows the case study of the instruction to float, analyzing its metaphoric impact on the perceptual process of movement. Katan suggests seeing the embodied implication of the movement inquiry in the light of abductive reasoning. The analysis suggests that dance movements are creative since they deliver a procedural behavior from one field to another and apply them genuinely. The chapter puts forward the responsibility of sensory stimuli in reorganizing the current capacity of movement and in incorporating the metaphor as an innovative movement pattern.
