Are we to believe that Late Minoan Crete was over-run with dancers
and bull leapers? As Senta German shows, dancing and bull-leaping
were the most prevalent themes of Late Bronze Age glyptic art
although, aside from their demonstration of a social and perhaps
symbolic activity, they also had a much deeper function in Late
Minoan society. German examines archaeological and art-historical
evidence and uses it to create a typology of performance art
(performativty, performative art and social drama). She questions
the role of gender, class and age as social categories within this
art and concludes that the seals, as vehicles of the value-laden
message of performace at the palaces', were symbolic of power
centred around palatial life.
