ABSTRACT
The dancer’s experience of metis at depth needs more descriptions, more dancers who are willing to dig into this fluid uncertainty, capture a snapshot, and visualize it with words. The voice of this dancer at depth in metis is a voice of sensorial processes where tensegrity anchors self and assists in conducting the dynamics of perception. The dancer as rhetor was also the text and even audience to herself moving. Performance outcomes are multiple and recycled into the recalled perception affecting future performance outcomes within the same dance, indicating a much more complex and intricate experience of performance outcomes in the dancer’s reality. Words create new possibilities for these dancers which allow different choices to appear perceptually for the dancer. The dancer can think with data from all perceptual pathways: interoception, exteroception, and proprioception.
