NEW GLOSSARY 4 NEW DANCE: THE REDUNDANCIESensesTOUCH
**Pupillary Experience and Touch Redundancy in Nonchoreographic Dance**
In nonchoreographic dance, pupillary experience refers to the visceral engagement with the dance environment, where participants absorb the energy and symbolism of the performance through their receptive consciousness. Both dancers and spectators, as pupils, engage in a dynamic exchange of energy, akin to the opening and closing of the pupil in response to stimuli.
Touch redundancy, within this framework, acknowledges that physical contact is unnecessary for communication and connection within the dance space. Instead, participants trust in the organic exchange of energy and meaning, allowing the dance to unfold naturally without the imposition of physical touch.
By embracing pupillary experience and touch redundancy, nonchoreographic dance invites a more intuitive and open-ended exploration of movement, energy, and consciousness. Dancers maintain their sovereignty and creative autonomy, free from the constraints imposed by external expectations or limitations, fostering a dynamic exchange that transcends the limitations of traditional choreography and physical touch.
