1. Describe the baroque period of dance.
The baroque period was between 1600-1750. It was derived from the Portuguese word barroco, which means misshapen pearl. Art, Music, Dance, and Architecture flourished during this time period. It is characterized by dynamic movement, overt motion, and self-confident rhetoric. This period also has a tendency to blur distinctions between the various arts.
2. Discuss why people dance?
People dance as a way to express themselves and their feelings. One of the biggest things in dance is the music. Music in dance shows the mood and type of dance that will be performed during the performance. Dance is not fun but enjoyable for others to watch. It can be very impressive to watch a set of dancers perform together. Dance is also a main part of many social events such as birthdays and weddings. It is a way that friends and family can have fun together. It has been very interesting to see the changes that dancing has taken throughout the years.
3. Describe one non western dance art form.
Butoh is a type of dance that is done by the Japanese from 1959. It is a very different type of dance that we are not use to seeing in America. It is characterized by emotional intensity. While watching the video, I was very shocked by the dancing. The dancer seems to be angry while dancing. The makeup that they wear is very eye catching as they paint their faces with white paint.
