The Body Dimension of Dance——Analysis based on Merleau-Ponty's Phenomenology of the Body
The body is the carrier and foundation of dance,and the most important aspect of dance is to use the body as a medium for expression.But this does not mean that dance truly stems from the existence of the body in the world.On the contrary,most dances fundamentally only use the body as a tool to express meaning beyond the body,leading to spiritual,social,emotional,divine,personal experiences,and so on.French philosopher Maurice Merleau-Ponty proposed the theory of phenomenology of the body,opposing the idea of consciousness as the starting point of philosophy and placing the body as the center of knowledge:I am in my body,I am my body,and the body is the unity of body and mind;We exist in the world through our bodies and perceive the world through our bodies.The essence of this is the interweaving and mutual interaction between the body and the world.Dance is one of the expressions of this body philosophy and an important channel for humans to seek symbiosis and co-existence.
