Item Symposium on Modernism in the Arts: The Dance(Bennington College, 1933-06) Hill, MarthaDance is an art which makes meaning evident through movement. True, any art derives part of its meanings from motion or motionlessness. Motion and motionlessness, like sound and silence, enhance each other. Sculpture and painting use those negative and positive poles in their motionless masses or flowing contours. These arts suggest movement without employing actual movement. On the other hand, the cinema, the drama to a lesser extent, and the dance above all, use actual movement to make manifest their meanings. The dance then is truly a movement art: its medium is movement; its instrument, the human body.Item Letter from Zora Neale Hurston regarding a June 6 1935 visit to Bennington College(1935-05-23) Hurston, Zora NealeItem Letter to Zora Neale Hurston regarding details about her June 6 1935 visit to Bennington College(1935-05-24) Jones, CatharineItem Zora Neale Hurston Press Release(Bennington College, 1935-06-05)Item Art that Pays Series: Music.
