DAN 2520 Lecture Notes - Lecture 7: Pylades, War Dance
Document Summary
Greece influenced the start of roman dance but over time their morals separated them. Only form of movement thought of highly. Why was pantomime so popular in rome: It told a story that everyone could understand through gestures. As art declines culture becomes more violent. Criminals are forced to dance while being set on fire until death. Church takes over and banished pantomimists and dancers who then wandered throughout europe (this spreads different cultural values) Master and slave are equals (they serve each other)
