i wasn't talking about 'mind dance' at all though that's an interesting (if completely irrelevant to actual reality) concept. certain minimal forms of dancing, such as butoh, allow some extremely subtle movements which do not require any sort of steps or immediately perception of movement. which is what my comments on 'not needing to leave your chair in order to dance' reffered to: you could make tiny, barely perceptible circles with your finger to the sound of abstract music & call it dance. in fact, you may not even need any sort of music. that's the beauty of it. but i disgress & who cares. ~ david --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
