Record 2 2010-03-23

English

Subject field(s)
  • Dance
CONT

a form of Western theatrical dancing that has developed almost entirely outside the ballet tradition. Modern dance is not simply a matter of chronology, however, nor is it a rigid technical system. In essence, it is point of view that stresses artistic individualism and encourages dancers to develop personal choreographic styles.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Danse

La danse moderne correspond à un petit moment de l’évolution de la danse, dans le monde occidental. Un peu à l’image de notre époque, elle suggère un modèle éclaté : plurielle, complexe et diversifiée.

CONT

Exprimer les émotions à travers le mouvement du corps humain est le but de von Laban, comme celui de Mary Wigman et de toute la danse moderne.
