The Dancing Body in Renaissance Choreography (1416 - 1589)
USD 70.00 USD
Renaissance dance treatises claim that the dance is a language but do not explain how or what dancing communicates. This book shows that the oratorical model for Arbeau’s definition of the dance is epideictic and that although one cannot equate dance and oratorical action, the ends of oratorical action are those of dance: persuasion through charm and emotion.
