“ChoreoRitual”

On the 3rd of August, Vangelis Legakis presented the paper “Choreo-Ritual” at the Asia Pacific Dance Festival expressing the healing and transcendental nature of dance practice in the 21st Century.

Vangelis Legakis is proposing a new term in dance studies which is an approach to movement as a ritual in the context of dance and everyday life.

 ChoreoRitual is the arrangement (composition) of and an agreement between the performers, and object(s) manipulated by the performers in the appropriate environment, towards creating the desired plot (dramaturgy) for a unified whole (Mise en Scene) to create and convey a contextual meaning to heighten energy, heal, dedicate and devote for a higher cause and purpose.
