Abstract
A dance performance is a lived experience in time and space. Technology cannot capture the essence of a live performance because it cannot emote or feel. It can only capture a live dance performance in 2D, while attending a live performance affords a 3D experience in time - 4th dimension? A dance performance is about what and when you see (visual and perceptual), how you see (perceptual and cognitive), why you see (conceptual), and where you see (visual). I use the live performance of the dance “Tree of Codes” choreographed by Wayne MacGregor performed at the Melbourne International Festival in September 2017 to illustrate my point of view. In this presentation, I plan to apply concepts of phenomenology and neuroscience to demonstrate how meaning and ideas can be brought into and by dance movement. In other words I elucidate on how you can really see live dance.
