"Reading Dancing"

"Reading Dancing" is a concept that explores how individuals interpret and respond to dance through their perceptions and emotional engagement. It involves the viewer’s active mental and emotional process of understanding the dance's expressive qualities, movement patterns, and underlying themes. Essentially, it’s about how people "read" or make sense of dance performances, similar to reading a story or visual art, which can evoke personal insights, feelings, and connections. This approach emphasizes the interpretive experience of dance as a dynamic interaction between performer, audience, and the meaning conveyed through movement.
