Abstract

Simona Bertozzi is an Italian dancer, choreographer, and performer based in Bologna, Italy. From 2008 to 2012, she worked on the project Homo Ludens. I propose this project, composed of four performances, as a case study that will investigate the multifaceted term “presence” within the context of dance. As a result of my research, I make an argument that a definition of presence, defined as a tension between motion and stillness, can be founded on Domenico da Piacenza's treatise Dela Arte di Ballare et Danzare (c. 1455).
