It also employs contract-release, floor work, fall and recovery, and improvisation characteristics of modern dance. Unpredictable changes in rhythm, speed, and direction are often used, as well. Additionally, contemporary dance sometimes incorporates elements of non-western ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
