| Abstract | Two things seem essential for dance to function as an art form: a dancer who moves their body, and an audience that watches the movements. These involve motor and proprioceptive processes in the dancer's brain, and visual processes in the audience's brains, respectively. Of course, many other possible elements can contribute also, such as music, narrative and others, but these are less essential. The focus on body movement, and observation of body movement shows that dance and sensorimotor neuroscience are natural allies. In this talk, I will show some examples of how data and theory from sensorimotor neuroscience can shed light on how dancers dance, and also on how audiences watch dance. |
