NEW GLOSSARY 4 NEW DANCE: “DYNAMO”
dancer directs direct currents
through and outward towards the spectator …
Like a pyramid point aimed at the eye.
Broad base taken to near 0 point, as close as impossible.
Currents
those radiating from the constituents within
1) the selected telescoped video frame (or “mustered setting”) for the dance
and
2) everything, anything and the nothing beyond the telescope frame (the universe)
the DANCER’S DYNAMO
creates a field of energy
like N and S is induced upon the earth …

Glossary Entry: Dynamo
Definition:
A "dynamo" in the realm of dance and science symbolizes a fascinating fusion of dynamic energy, where the principles of scientific generation and the artistry of dance performance converge. It embodies the concept of directing and amplifying energy in a way that captivates and engages both the scientific mind and the dance enthusiast.
Key Points:
1. **Dancer's Power:** In dance, a dynamo signifies the inherent power within a performer, like a magnetic force, driving captivating movements and expressions while commanding the attention of the audience. In scientific contexts, a dynamo refers to a mechanism or system that transforms mechanical energy into electrical or magnetic energy, emphasizing the generation of direct currents (DC) and magnetic fields.
2. **Energy Flow:** Both in dance and science, the term "dynamo" underscores the notion of channeling and projecting energy. In dance, it creates a mesmerizing stage presence, much like a performer's spotlight, while in science, it refers to the generation of currents or fields.
3. **Audience Engagement:** Like a pyramid's apex aimed at the eye in dance, the dynamo effect attracts the audience's attention and fascination, creating a strong connection between the performer and spectators.
4. **Intensity and Focus:** In dance, dynamo involves focusing one's energy to a near-zero point, tapering from a broad base, creating an intensely focused performance. In science, it relates to concentrating energy efficiently for generation.
5. **Artistic and Scientific Boundaries:** A dynamo in dance encompasses the energy generated within the dance's selected framework or setting, as well as the expansive energy that extends into the broader artistic and emotional universe. In science, it involves generating currents or fields within defined boundaries.
6. **Magnetic Appeal:** Both in dance and science, a dynamo operates like a magnetic force, attracting attention, and creating a desire for space, separation, and innovative forms of expression or scientific discovery.
7. **Expression and Creativity:** In dance, a dynamo inspires unique gestures, kinetic movements, and artistic exploration. In science, it sparks creativity and innovation in the generation of electrical currents or magnetic fields.
In summary, a "dynamo" in dance and science represents a captivating synergy of dynamic energy. It embodies the power to engage audiences and inspire creativity, whether through mesmerizing dance performances or the scientific generation of currents and fields. This concept bridges the gap between artistic expression and scientific discovery in a research activity focused on dance.
