| Summary: | Interest in the immersive expression of dancers in contemporary performances is growing, often relying on body
knowledge and awareness. However, a noticeable gap exists in empirical research aimed at enhancing body awareness
within the modern dance education system. The aim of this study is to investigate on the oneness of mind and body the
influences of breathing, perceptivity, imagination, and creativity. Employing a quantitative research methodology, this
study administered a questionnaire to 47 dance students at Hunan Women's University in Hunan Province, China.
Regression studies carried out reveal a comparable positive and substantial association between creativity and the
harmonization of mind and body as well as a positive and significant link between breathing and oneness of mind and
body. Interestingly, the relationship between perceptivity, imagination, and the oneness of mind and body did not
exhibit statistical significance. We posit that the lack of a significant relationship may be influenced by variables
extending beyond the scope of dance, suggesting the need for deeper investigation in the future. These findings not only
contribute to our knowledge of dance but also have practical implications for dancers, educators, and researchers in the
field. |
