Imagine That!

A sculptor once told me that, of all his many artist friends, you could always bet that the sculptors would be better dancers than the painters. He had a theory to account for this that had to do with living in a two-dimensional versus a three-dimensional world. He said he would look at a tree and visualize the roots while, at the same time, peering down from bird's perspective. All that the guys with their oils and canvas ever saw was an array of colors.

Make sense?

Yes, it makes a lot of sense! Dancers have an obviously well-honed 3d sense of the world -- and so do sculptors. In fact, in a study Bob did comparing scientists' art hobbies with their thinking styles, those scientists who sculpted were kinesthetic thinkers and most definitely did not think in visual images at all.

SYTYCD rules

First a disclaimer: I am not a good dancer and I do not do it enough. What draws me to dance (and at the same time scares me) is that it takes me out of my analytical mind. Do really engage in dance is to turn the power over to the body.
