PHENOMENOLOGY IN DANCE
9:30:00 PM
A few months ago,
I went to a super cool screening: Obey Giant,
based on the life and work
of the genius street art artist Shephard Fairey,
one of the ideas that catch me the most
was the presence in his perspective of
phenomenology for his expansive work and,
the immediate recognition
by public personalities of his transcendental imaginary,
phenomenology is a means of discovering
unnoticed aspects of the world,
the inquiry of phenomena uncovers
the wealth and complexity of human experience
and provokes the sense of wonder,
it is an evolving practice, not a finished system.
What really opened my curiosity
was to investigate the relationships
between the object and the process
that allows the appearance
of the object in consciousness.
Shephard Fairey first work in 1989
was the sticker on a featured
bare-bones black-and-white lithograph
of the legendary professional
wrestler Andre the Giant.
The directive and source would be unknown,
urging passersby to "Obey!"
in a totalitarian message of conformity.
Soon the Obey graphic will be
in the all country and worldwide pockets
as a pop-art phenomenon of the counterculture,
who would later achieve acclaim
with his WPA -inspired “Progress”
poster for Barack Obama's 2008 campaign.
The OBEY campaign attempts
to stimulate curiosity and bring people
to question both the campaign and,
their relationship with their surroundings,
people do not use to seeing advertisements
or propaganda for which the motive is not obvious.
The OBEY mission,
underground yet in-your-face,
has been perpetuated by other street artists
such as Bansky.
The art of the unexpected
reinforces the benefit of simulations
Phenomenology studies structures
of consciousness as experienced
in the world from the first-person point of view,
consciousness is not separated from the body,
and the body is involved in all conscious functions:
“ Our body is in the world as the heart is in the organism,
it is primarily our body that is moved by
rhythm and that resonates with harmony”
- Merleau-Ponty.
Each person/ body has
its cultural and intersubjective differences,
what instantly create a different perspective
on the way things are comprehended.
on the way things are comprehended.
In the same way as phenomenology in marketing
is an intuitive and organic tool
to permeate in the public while making choices.
Music transcends on the subconscious
s but as an element of cultural exchange,
how do we react to music is based on
our personal background,
ideas, feelings, imagination and,
interaction with the elements
present in the dance floor,
music should not be understood as an entity without
a reciprocal element on the environment.
What image should define dance?
or better said the act of creativity
result of music and inputs
such us inspirational paints, colors,
smells and tastes;
what image will bring the observer
to immediately connect
with the pineal gland and send the stimulus
of dancing as a tool for delayering
what is blocking
at that certain moment our visions,
to move through our body identifying
what part of our magnetic field should be release
and tuned with the rest.
What imagine would deconstruct the moment
of an empty space.
to bring the meaning of creation with music?.
If we could tap into that image
every time we get lost in sadness
and see no point on the intentions
we one day made to our selves.
