You have learned that reflection and dance can travel many paths. A dancer can reflect through dialogue with another dancer or teacher; through writing down one’s process of movement; through bodily movement where attention is placed on the process of movement; and through learning how to direct attention to the sensations of the body during movement. In this first paragraph answer the following question: How does learning about dance and reflection change the meanings of dance for you? Explain using examples from this week’s media or even media in previous weeks. You can also use personal experience as support.
In another paragraph, please write your response to the Butoh performance video. Did watching the video cause you to be in a more reflective mood? What about the movement of Butoh seemed reflective to you? Please describe the movement in your answers as support for your ideas.
