Review by Elizabeth Pinkerton
Balance is the journal of the professional association
“Meditation des Tanzes – Sacred Dance” which appears twice
yearly. Each edition contains contributions on specific topic.
The publication is in German and thus not available to many of
us because of our individual lack of knowledge of the language.
Because of this Judy King decided to approach Friedel Kloke -
Eilb who has in turn made a selection of articles which she
thought would cover a range of topics and be of interest. Judy
then set about finding individuals who would translate these for
this publication of The Dancing Circle. The selection of
articles has been translated with care and sensitivity to
meaning and cross language differences thus offering an
opportunity to share the thoughts and experiences of dancers
from the continent.
The compilation of writings covers a range of dances from the
choreographers Bernard Wosien and Friedel Kloke-Eibl, their
conception, development and growth. Traditional dances are also
considered. There are also articles from individual dancers
about their experiences and thoughts arising from dancing.
Reflections on meditative qualities, stillness, centering,
attunement, connectedness; the healing experience of dance; and
the origins of dances, and the symbolic connections of steps and
patterns both created in and emerging from dances make rich
reading for anyone wanting to explore the many layers and depths
of dances and the circle.
I found this rich reading and would say thank you to Judy for
undertaking the work involved in gathering the articles
together, to Mandy de Winter who had the original idea and to
the translators.
