The Performer-Audience Connection is a pioneering foray into one of
the major puzzles of human communication: the communication of
emotion in dance. It is the first attempt of its kind
systematically to investigate what performers wish to convey and
what audiences perceive in the performance of dance. The
centerpiece of this provocative book is an examination of performer
intentions and audience response at eight dance performances in
Washington, D.C. Part of the Smithsonian Institution Division of
Performing Arts Dance Series, these concerts featured a variety of
dance genres and cultures: American tap dance, Kathakali
dance-drama from Kerala, India, Japanese Kabuki, contemporary
avant-garde dance, Philippine folk dance, the Indian classical
tradition of Kuchipudi, and modern dance to an AfroAmerican
spiritual. How did dancer and audience interact at the emotional
level on these eight occasions? What affected performer-audience
rapport? Through interviews of both spectators and dancers, Judith
Lynne Hanna explores the performers' ways of imparting emotion
through movement and audience members' expectations and responses.
In doing so she casts new light on important issues of cultural
identity, sex role, historic attitudes toward dance, and even
marketing the arts today. A landmark work not only for performers
who wish to reach their audiences more effectively but also for
choreographers, anthropologists, specialists in nonverbal
communication, behavioral scientists, educators, and all who are
fascinated by the arts and the special magic of the
"performer-audience connection."
