For abstract dance you can do whatever you want, you can dance in any way.
And for figurative art while you dance it represents something that happened in your life.

# data[].attributes.body
Figurative art is the opposite of abstract art since it shows clear and direct shapes that people can link to real-life things. A painting that, for example, shows apples, animals, human beings, or any other object is considered figurative art.

There are many differences and similarities between Figurative and Abstract art. In Modern art, Abstract art does not depict any “likeness” to reality. It is purely non-representational and non-recognizable from nature whereas Figurative art is representational and explores figuration, be it human, animal, or object.

Based on the dance experience right now I would explain Abstractionism as a style of dance that has no rules, and that it is a dance style that allows someone to be themself. When thinking about this more deeply I think that when a dancer or an artist express themself by movement or shape. Lastly Abstractionism to me represents somebody to tell a story about their personal background.
The movement that especially stood out to me was the modern contemporary dance that I observed. To me this dance showed how it had a meaning, and it had be wondering about many things. This dance to me was extremely interesting and fascinating.

# data[].attributes.body
Figurative Art and abstract dance are both very unique styles, and both come in many diffrent ways. When thinking more deeply about the two we can observe that Abstract appears more free. This to me represents how abstract is has no rules at all, and has no restriction's. On the other hand Figurative Art represents objects that are used in real life, in each image. When looking above you can see an image of a real girl, living in a real setting, while the Abstract Art shows more freedom, and is not of anything in real life.

It is shaped by the dancers crating emotions and attracting the crowd in and wanting to more in-depth of how deep the dance will go also how there body's move in a emotional way.

Some designs that were implemented were the movements and patterns. The way there body's swayed and the contemporary dancing.

How deep do you want to go with your emotions?When do you know if you do to much emotion?

# data[].attributes.body
They both create amazing things but abstract art is when you feel emotions and dance when using your spaces on the other hand figurative language is more creating a piece that it not using the space it shapes things but they both make art.

Based on today's dance experiment, I would define abstractionism as a form of dance or art that allows you to move and create a story freely, in your own ways that remove yourself from the usual art and dance world and creating your own guidelines based on what kind of story or scene you want to portray in your work.
Movements experiences such as interesting ways of moving, intricate dance positions, and complex scenes stand out to me. This is because they make the dances interesting and help to portray a story in your mind as you watch the dancers express themselves.

# data[].attributes.body
Abstract dancing tells a story, you us so many different emotions when telling the story of abstract that you forget that you are in the moment. You us patterns and create the dance as you go. you do not feel the crowd you feel the music and how it takes you to different levels of abstract.

1. Space is shaped by the dancers and the set in many ways. This particular set is mysterious and gloomy and the dancers are performing in a way that expresses the emotion in the space.  Space refers to the way the dancer's bodies move and they collaborate together to create a scene and paint a picture of the set.
2. In this dance, the choreographic designs that are incorporated are abstract ways of space, movement, and contemporary. These designs help to create a story within the dancer's moves and bodies.
3. A remaining question I have for this dance is:
"What is the main story behind this particular dance and what are the dancers trying to portray in their movements?"

Abstract Dance and Figurative Art are both very creative and come in many different forms. Abstract dance focuses more on free and there is more room for the art/dance pieces to differ. There are no rules and restrictions. On the contrary, Figurative Art is based on real life objects and images. The images above show both an example of Abstract Dance (the left) and Figurative Art (the right).

Compare and contrast absract vs. figurative art

# data[].attributes.body
Absract dance and figurative art are both expressive and creative but absract dancing is usually more focused on the movements of the dancer, meanwhile figurative art usually involves and focuses on an image. Figurative art uses shapes and objects, (abstract can too) but most times absract is more directed toward the feelings and movement of the dancer and not the whole image and art itself, like figurate is.

“Dance is art; paint your dream and follow it.” — Steven Thompson

# data[].attributes.body
Abstract art is more of an art that you have to explore the whole scene and figurative art is more based off of familiar objects where you just have to look at the object.  For example, Pablo Picasso art work is more abstract because he uses shapes while Van Gough uses scenic and realism.  Another example is Trisha Brown who was a famous abstract dancer and choreographer.

Figurative art is where you can predict what will happen next because it is familiar and abstract art you can not predict what happens next because it is not familiar and so we don't know what the next move is.

Sophie Krelstein- Figurative Art vs Abstract Dance.

# data[].attributes.body
Abstact and Figurative dance are two very different styles of dance. Abstract dance exemplifies the non-figurative elements and uses the human body to paint a picture in a viewer's mind. Abstractionism in dance removes itself from daily and common movements and perceives the dancers differently in the physical part of dancing. On the other hand, Figurative Art is derived from real object sources and many shapes, designs, and hues play a large role in creating imagery in a Figurative painting. Figurative art has also evolved a lot. For example, in the early Renaissance, it broadened its parameters. It started an essential landmark in the evolution of figurative art such as new paintings and ideas of how art should be created and perceived. The key features of an abstract painting/ dance are removing itself from the usual moves/ stories and not representing an everyday object, but creating new and diverse ways of drawing and perceiving the world. The key features of a figurative painting are recognizable descriptions of humans/ objects, strong lines and shapes in a painting, and a connection with reality in the drawings.

abstractionism is a unique type of art that can play tricks on you mind.

# data[].attributes.body
This video shows an example of an abstractionist dance at its finest. The video exhibits a contemporary dance where the dancers are portraying a story of turning a dark and sad form of dance into a light and cheerful dance as the music changes and their movements go from small and individual to a collaboration of all the dancers dancing together.

A. The tent is a semi-circle around the stage. The tent also creates two spaces on the stage it creates a space inside the tent and outside the tent.

B. The dance is similar to contemporary, the dancers are responding to the changes of the music instead of following choreography all together.

C. Is this style of dance popular today, if so who and where do they perform it.

# data[].attributes.body
This is an example of figurative art in the dance world.

# data[].attributes.body
Abstract is similar to Figurative art because the music and the movement is very visual and not as obvious as other art. The figurative approach can be applied to the real world.

# data[].attributes.body
For abstractionism there is no real choreography or technique there is more visual effects. A lot of the music is electronic. Abstractionism focuses on shapes in lines rather than the choreography. Also, the music is different there is no “eight count” or beat and more of just random sounds combined.

I chose this image to represent partnering possibilities. I think partnering in dance is very important and for good reason one of the 3 elements. With a partner, you can add more choreography, more tension, and overall more spice to the show. These possibilites to partner in dance really brings out the best in some dancers especially the ones who don't perfer solos and like to dance with someone as their personal opinion.

# data[].attributes.body
I chose this image because it shares the importance of extreme timing, as you can see, the dancers are at the perfect timing at the leap, which pulls the whole show together to give it a nice touch. If one of them were to make a slight mistake on the timing, depending on the music, etc, it could ruin the moment and cause a lot of disorganization and cluster for the rest of the show. Extreme timing is one of the 3 elements and it is clearly shown why.

I hand picked this image due to it's vivid look of air and floor pattern which is one of the 3 elements. The repetition is very visible and overall a fine pick.
