紀要論文

When we define a body of a dancer, who attracts the viewers, as “the dancing body”, we face two questions: how is “the dancing body” structured and how does a dancer understand it himself. In the \ previous research, the aspects of “the dancing body” were analyzed through literature. In this research, we conducted interviews to two dancers using Personal Attitude Construct (PAC) Analysis method. \ This allowed us to draw an analysis on the practical aspects of “the dancing body”. \ The results showed that dancer structures the image of “the dancing body” based on the experience of viewing and performancing dance, and have a dialogue with her own mind and body when she is under dance training. The process of deepening a dancer’s view on dance with change of mind and body and approaching the state of “the dancing body” is connected to the process of Shugyo explained by Yuasa. It is understood that this is the subsequent level of the training, where training is beyond the level of dancer adjusting the body according to the “form”.
