IADMS. The Cognitive Neuroscience of Dance Improvisation | Ivar Hagendoorn. One reason I got interested in cognitive neuroscience and movement studies was to see if I could find any ideas or metaphors that I could apply to dance and choreography. I was also driven by a specific observation: When freely improvising dancers often get stuck, either because they sense they are repeating themselves or because they don't know how to bring structure into their dancing. To understand this phenomenon we have to dig deeper into how a decision to move is made, how a movement is selected from a set of alternatives, how a sequence of movements is executed, how movements are learned and memorized etc.
It should be noted that what I'm referring to here are unconscious patterns, the kind of patterns dancers themselves refer to when they are 'stuck'. Unconscious motor patterns are a property of the motor system. Examples: folding your arms, getting dressed in a particular order, brushing your teeth. Publications Hagendoorn, I.G. (2003).
