| summary | The specific goal of the talk is to investigate the principles governing the perception of rhythmic structure in a dance-music event on the basis of a case study. I will take as a starting point Lerdahl & Jackendoff’s (1983) conception of musical rhythm as the interaction between grouping and meter and examine to what extent it can apply to dance. Then, I will explore how the rhythmical structures of music and dance interact in a single event. The exploration will be guided by a detailed examination of the opening of Stravinsky’s Augurs of Spring as choreographed by Nijinsky (1913), Béjart (1970) and Bausch (1975).
By comparing these minimal pairs of dance-music events, I will adopt the formal methodology of linguistics to other cognitive systems. The general goal is to shed further light on the organizational principles of mental representations by comparing several cognitive systems in order to distinguish between general cognitive properties and modality-specific or domain-specific properties. |
