About this Quote

This quote by Ted Shawn speaks with the one-of-a-kind nature of dance as an art type. Dancing is a physical expression of emotion and also suggestions, as well as it is created by the body of the dancer. Unlike other art kinds, such as paint or sculpture, the dancer is the material where the art is made. The dancer is the canvas, the brush, as well as the sculpture all in one. Dance is a form of interaction that is both personal and also universal. It is a way to share emotions and ideas without words, and also it can be shown others. Dancing is an effective form of expression that can be made use of to tell tales, evoke feelings, and develop a common experience. It is a form of art that is both intimate as well as communal, and it is a powerful device for self-expression.
