Abstract
New Understanding of Documenting Dance Studies : Exploring the Features and Methods of Dance Ekphrasis ×

In this study, we investigated the characteristics and methods of dance ekphrastic. We take a look at the concept of ekphrasis and then looked into the notion of ekphrasis in dance. Ekphrastic dance takes into consideration the historical, political and cultural context of the piece whilst interpreting its content. Ekphrasis accompanies dance studies, making intermediality an inherent part of the discipline. There have been few studies on ekphrastic dance, or the art of transforming dance works into text. This study uses methodology from literature studies by exploring books, music, digital ekphrasis. Such a study can give something as fleeting as a dance movement theoretical and historical weight. By transforming dance into words, we hope this study will provide new perspectives and extend the concept of dance research.
