Gerard Van Der Leeuw Quotes
Text Quotes
Historically and phenomenologically viewed, dance is the original art. All arts are found within it, in its undivided unity. The image, made dynamic through movement and countermovement, sings and speaks simultaneously (Gerard Van Der Leeuw Quotes)
In the dance the boundaries between body and soul are effaced. The body moves itself spiritually, the spirit bodily (Gerard Van Der Leeuw Quotes)
The art of beautiful motion is far and away the oldest. Before man learned how to use any instruments at all, he moved the most perfect instrument of all, his body. He did this with such abandon that the cultural history of prehistoric and ancient man is, for the most part, nothing but the history of the dance (Gerard Van Der Leeuw Quotes)
