What an explanation of the cultural history and anthropology. In the
beginning of the reading, I was doubting myself “Am I reading about the Disco
dance? I was confused thinking that I was reading an article of the science
book. Then as I read the article, I agreed with the author’s thoughts about how
we as a dance researcher can and able to understand the mind by paying attention
to what might lie behind the movements and the body of the theme of the dance. Just
as the opening of the article described of the television movie show how a “brain
death” and “body death” were combined to a new person’s identity which recognized
by the husband of the “body death” wife. Therefore, even though the miracle
woman was in different body, they reunited and live happily ever after (Bull
404).
Movement is less obvious than language. It is developed through the
personal identity and social relationship in more inclusive and ambiguous
without structures. It can be noticed by the people who are related to the
either Natives and the educated on history. The movements of the improvisation
began in 1972 by experimenting weigh improvisationally in giving and taking
with spontaneous and free- flowing movements. It became to spread in USA,
Canada, Europe dance in social and performance form. It is more popular today
than mid- to late seventies (bull 405-406).
The touch and mutual control contact dance form
of improvisational dance changed as the Disco dancers took more controlled of
the partnership either with male with male, and male with female, female with
female free to exchange in a given support anytime as the traditional form of
social dance. Disco dance is more being controlled because relating through
partner through site and one-way manipulation. Moreover, Disco dance became
rock dancing with self-displaying and partnering with opposite sex. The movements
were more personalized, posed, more outwardly and presentational focusing on their
partner. Direct expressional disco dance was popular seventies and eighties of
the social and created metaphors for the many American men and women see
themselves (Bull 410-413). The author’s thoughts about how we as a dance researcher
can and able to understand the mind by paying attention to what might lie
behind the movements and the body of the theme of the dance. Final thought of
looking at characteristic movement as culture of contact improvisation and Disco
dance revealed the human need to express in movements as who we are.
