It would be great to hear about them...Ballet Chat (after performance)https://www.sfballet.org/season/events/Ballet-Chat Feb. 23, 2019Ballet, Kinesthetic Empathy, and Music Analysis in The Sleeping Beauty "Dr. Maeve Sterbenz discusses the relationship between music and dance in the well-known "Rose Adagio" from Tchaikovsky and Petipa's The Sleeping Beauty. Research on dance and cognition has shown that the experience of watching dance is not just visual; it engages audiences on an embodied, kinesthetic level. These responses can have surprising effects on music perception as well. The "Rose Adagio" is especially intriguing in this regard, in part because it features long balances en pointe that are notoriously difficult to perform. It is the audience's kinesthetic empathy with the performer that lends drama to these drawn-out moments of stillness, and, in turn, encourages a vivid and nuanced experience of the music. The piece enables multiple empathetic alignments with the dancer, resulting in a rich and complex relationship between dance and music."
