Sacred Dance

Fülszöveg

Creation is movement: and the sacred dance arises from the need to identify with the eternal round of the creative forces in the cosmos. Dancing intensifies awareness, so that the dancer begins to understand how the universe is made up of infinite patterns of motion around a still center.
A primordial element of religious tradition, oil over the world, the donee was a vital part of Early Christian worship, and survives in the whirling, orbiting movements of the Dervishes of Turkey. In images ranging from Botticelli's dancing angels to the dance patterns of the South Seas, this book evokes one of man's oldest and profoundest impulses: to act out the movements of the powers that he senses within himself and within the world.
