SUMMARY:Chinese Kinesthetic Forms
DESCRIPTION:Topics: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMovement has a distinctively rich tradition in China. Chinese Kinesthetic Forms considers movement as an organizing principle across myriad media and cultural forms—from dance and music\, to painting and calligraphy\, to theater and martial arts. The conference explores how movement\, as both expression and object of perception\, opens experiential dimensions\, even beyond the corporeal. Coinciding with the presentation of installations from CAMLab’s Cave Dance project\, the conference joins fresh conversations on dance\, kinesthetics\, and China’s long history of performance\, and it seeks to further understanding of movement as a way of defining experience. \n\n\n\nThis conference is organized by Harvard FAS CAMLab\, with support from the Department of History of Art and Architecture.  \n\n\n\nFriday\, November 11 \n\n\n\n9:30 AM  Welcome RemarksDavid Roxburgh\, Harvard University \n\n\n\n9:45–10:30 AM  Opening Remarks and Keynote Eugene Wang\, Harvard University. “When and How Did Art Become Art?
