https://isaw.nyu.edu/events/archive/2018/dance-as-reverie
That the visual experience of ballet performance resembles dreams has been a
particularly popular idea in modern times, repeatedly stated in influential nineteenth- century ballet criticism, such as that of Théophile Gautier and Stéphane Mallarmé. This talk will explore the cognitive and broader aesthetic implications of this exciting notion and will trace similar approaches to dance in Greek and Greco-Roman antiquity.No publisherexhibition-event2019/02/27 14:05:00 GMT-4EventSketching from Models: Exhibition Event

Classics scholar and former Royal Ballet dancer Tom Sapsford examines the cultural impact of dance in classical and modern contexts.
