%RHYTHM MUSIC DANCE 770330
Rhythm, music and dance involve patterned change.
Their essence is process, rather than any static factor.
The musician is not seeking the find the ideal note. The
dancer is not seeking to ideal posture. Rhythm does not
focus upon finding the ideal length of time to hold a note
or to rest, to hold a posture, or to move. In rhythm,
music and dance --- fulfillment is associated with
continually changing patterns of beats, notes, postures,
and motion.
In rhythm, music and dance an essential feature is
continual interaction between participants who each
contribute uniquely within the whole. The interaction is
an essential part of the whole. The whole cannot be
understood as a sum of the parts apart from the role of
the dynamic process of interaction between the parts
within the whole. The nature of the interactions depend in
part upon the whole within which they occur. The whole
cannot be understood fully --- if it is seen only as the
consequence of the interactions between the constituent
parts, in the absence of the whole. The whole contributes
to its own creation, just as do the constituent parts.
Verbal structures often lack the dynamic features
found in rhythm, music and dance. Conversations often
degenerate into a sequence of monologues which have no
rhythm, tone, key, interaction or coherent structure.
Religious doctrines tend to become static and as
uninteresting as a frozen rhythm band, orchestra, or
ballet troupe. Legal structures tend towards rigidity,
because of the importance placed upon precedence.
Rationalists need to attend to rhythm, music and
dance --- to gain some insights regarding what features of
life are absent from their daily activities. They need to
avoid the temptation to think that unless a truth can be
communicated verbally, it is unimportant. There are many
important communications which are not verbal, and which
can not be meaningfully translated into verbal language.
Some of these are communicated through rhythm, music and
dance. Such communications can enliven verbal
communication, even though they cannot be translated into
verbal communication.
