Description: Physics and the Art of Dance : Understanding Movement, Paperback by Laws, Kenneth; Sugano, Arleen; Swope, Martha (PHT); Schiavone, Gene (PHT), ISBN 0195341015, ISBN-13 9780195341010, Used Good Condition, Free shipping in the US Physics and the Art of Dance gives all who enjoy dance - whether as dancers, students, teachers, or fans - an opportunity to understand what happens when human bodies move in the remarkable ways we call dance. How, for instance, do dancers create the illusion of defying gravity? Or of
starting to spin when in the air with no source of force to act on their bodies? You may observe some dancers using their arms in a way that allows some to jump higher than others. What is that technique, and why does it work?
In this second edition, author Ken Laws - a physicist with years of professional dance training - teams with veteran dance instructor Arleen Sugano to provide new step-by-step experiments for dancers. "What you see" sections describe the way physical principles form the framework within which some
movements exist. The complementary "What you do" sections allow dancers to experience how those physical analyses can provide them a more efficient means of learning how to carry out those movements. Throughout, th shows how movements are first artistic expressions, and secondly movements of
the body within the framework of easy-to-understand physical principles.
Dancers and dance instructors will find in this book an efficient means of improving technical proficiency and growing professional and aesthetic development. For physics and science teachers, th provides a new and compelling way to draw people into the world of science. And observers and
fans of dance will marvel over the beautiful time-stop photography by renowned dance photographers Martha Swope and Gene Schiavone.
