The Impact of Intuitive and Ideal Thinking on Modern Dance Improvisation

Abstract

This paper explores how intuitive and ideal thinking influence the practice and pedagogy of modern dance improvisation. Through theoretical analysis and practical case studies, the study highlights the interplay between spontaneous creativity (intuition) and aspirational frameworks (ideal thinking). It also examines the potential of balancing these cognitive modes in cultivating versatile dancers and choreographers. This research contributes to both theoretical understandings and practical methodologies in the field of modern dance.
