Abstract: | The present paper briefly reviews recent advances in spatial cognition. A central tenet in spatial cognition is that spatial
information is simultaneously encoded in multiple formats. It also appears that at the level of neural processing there is
no clear distinction between the representation of space and the control of action. I will argue that these findings offer
novel insight into the nature of dance and choreography and that the concepts used by cognitive neuroscientists to frame their
findings can be fruitfully applied in a choreographic setting. Finally, I will speculate that both dancing oneself and watching
dance may enhance one’s experience of space. |
