La danza
Nel corso del Novecento la danza è stata sottoposta ad attenta e minuziosa indagine e a un radicale ripensamento. Se si esamina il progredire nel corso del secolo delle idee sull'uomo e sulle sue possibilità di comunicazione e di espressione attraverso il movimento, emergono le caratteristiche e le peculiarità della danza come esperienza sociale e di partecipazione rituale collettiva, come evento artistico e realtà spettacolare.
