Total Dance: Examining Interdisciplinarity In/Through Dance
Abstract
In this paper, I aim to argue about the potential of dance as movement that creates total dance in the sense of E. T. Kirby’s concept of total theater or Wagner’s Gesamtkunstwerk, total artwork. Movement creates moving images, moving sculptures, and moving sounds, allowing bodies to reach their full performance potential in what I term total dance. By total dance, I refer to a moving sculptural assemblage that entails moving images and creates moving sounds. Through this analysis of total dance, I aim to propose that both movement analyses and corporeality are inherently interdisciplinary.

摘要
本文旨在根据E.T.Kirby的整体戏剧或瓦格纳的整体艺术作品Gesamtkunstwerk的概 念, 来探讨舞蹈作为创造整体舞蹈的动作的潜力。动作创造了移动的图像、移动的雕塑 和移动的声音, 使得身体在作者所讲的整体舞蹈中充分发挥其表演潜力。作者叙述的整 体舞蹈是指一个移动的雕塑组合, 它包括移动的图像和创造移动的声音。通过对整体舞 蹈的分析, 作者旨在提出动作分析和身体性在本质上是跨学科的。
