Dance Creation and Analysis under the Perspective of LBMS: Using Glowing Ocean as an Example

Abstract

This article analyzes the creative process of a ballroom dance duet piece titled Glowing Ocean using the perspective of the Laban/Bartenieff Movement System (LBMS). The article examines the creative background of Glowing Ocean and clarifies the creative intention of the work. Furthermore, it attempts to express the musical and emotional atmosphere of the piece and attempts to translate this into an aesthetic image. While describing what cannot be expressed with words in dance, this article analyzes how dance conveys meaning through metaphors. This article tries to name the qualities of that which are hard to describe, and this contributes to the meaning and value of this paper.
