Dance #30

This piece was exploring use of eyes, focus and body language. I have been thinking about how and why movement can mean something to the viewer. What shapes, tension, rhythms create emotions...create "drama". Why is some movement easier to "relate" to. When you understand what I am doing....how and what does that mean? I am interested in body language (as opposed to gesture). I find in "music" certain tones or pitches immediately create a feeling in me. It is primal, reflexive. I am curious about the equivalent in dance. I was recently reading an article that suggested a woman do a gesture or "pose" with her palms up or open to show a man she is interested. Is this true? What are the signs we read without knowing?
