Notes
1The idea that a performer is ‘being danced’ rather than ‘is dancing’ is also present in other genres. The subject has been taken up by Foley (Citation1985: 29), who defines ‘the danced’ as performers who, unlike dancers who normally maintain self-awareness while impersonating a character, ‘strive for an altered, trance state and allow themselves to become mediums for another presence – a phenomenon known as possession trance’.
2This would probably lead the discussion astray, but I cannot resist mentioning the implications of this idea in the notion of the homo religiosus: not only does man have the ability to experience the Sacred, he also has the psychobiological means to create it.
