The chapter puts forward the role emotions enact in perceptual processes. Katan suggests that although emotions do not have an explicit role in the practice of Gaga, they are implicitly comprehended and analyzed. The chapter explores the implicit information within emotions, analyzing them as embodied reactions that evaluate life situations in relation to a personal significance. Katan suggests that in dance, emotions can function as informative sources concerning the quality of attunement between intentionality and sensory information. Focusing on the case study of mental instructions in Gaga, the chapter indicates that feelings assist dancers adjusting their intentionality according to the work's purpose.
