Description

The Sublime Through Dance Embodiment, Music, and the Profound By Ian Heckman This book presents a bold theory of how the sublime is evoked in dance, introducing a new concept called 'The Embodied Sublime.' Heckman argues that this type of sublime experience is uniquely tied to empathetically feeling movement on stage. He also explores how music can enhance and interact with the embodied sublime, and how a profound sentiment - a recognition of some kind of relationship with the world around us - is essential for eliciting sublime experiences. Heckman's analysis draws on works by famous choreographers such as Elizabeth Streb, Pina Bausch, Mark Morris, Tero Saarinen, and Carolyn Carlson. This interdisciplinary study will appeal to philosophers, dance scholars, choreographers, and anyone interested in the arts and the nature of human experience. Through its exploration of the sublime in dance, this book offers a fresh perspective on the relationship between art, emotion, and the world around us.
