I'm glad you have kept Chair Dancing alive in your life... I have no idea what you do for a living, I'm guessing not a sociologist or anthropologist or related profession. Your mom has a Phd so I'm guessing you are also well educated. You deeply love dance and movement so clearly an interest in creativity and the arts, You write well so probably a career that uses that skill, You ask me to guess your profession, so you likely place a very high premium on your career, and the answer is probably notably fascinating. OK I'm gonna guess either a bounty hunter or a professional wrestler. Or a teacher. But not a teacher of the Chair Dance. ![]() |

Cyclopea, Oh lord it was late what can I say??? Bounty Hunter is correct!!!!! Hows that for a profile addition. And I wonder why I'm single, LOL On a less thread derailing note this chair dance phenomenon has been playing through my mind. Especially since I watched the last video where the young man is doing a sexy dance with the chair and this is what has percolated up to the surface of my mind> no animals were hurt in the making of this...... On a sociological and psychological level: 1. Is it easier for this young man to relate sensually to an inanimate object than to a real woman? 2. Would he be able to dance for a real woman at all? 3.Does an inanimate object such as a chair free a persons emotional expression, and allow them to express feelings more honestly than with another person? 4. If so what is the reason for this? In a society that functions with a minimal amount of honest emotional interactions, where emotional repression is rampant as well as encouraged,is it easier to trust an inanimate object than it is another human being? Even if you lack the skills to express emotion and feelings eloquently, the chair will not judge you, laugh at you or reject you. It is a safe space to unlock your true feelings, and express them openly. On that level the chair becomes a tool for therapy and personal exploration.A "safe place" for creative expression. Hope you are enjoying your weekend, ![]() ![]()

Very interesting questions!
Quote:
Volumes have been philosophized about chairs, both occupied and not. It’s interesting that you bring up the unoccupied chair as a tool of therapeutic value and “safety” since whole fields of psychology have been devoted to the unoccupied chair, specifically or largely in cognitive and gestalt therapies in which the “empty chair” assumes an active role in the therapy itself, and a tool for the clients projection towards conceptualized others, parts of himself, and even towards abstractions. Much of the study of ergonomics and industrial design is rooted in psychology as well, sometimes formally so. The unoccupied chair represents profound psychological implications in all human cultures. The League of The Empty Chair defines these qualities as such: “emptiness/ unhomeliness/ unheimlichkeit/ lack of belonging/ uncanniness”. It is these qualities that animate “Chair”, whether it is the unoccupied chair customarily present at all American Legion meetings, the unoccupied chair left for Elijah the Prophet at the Seder table, or the field of empty chairs that comprises the Oklahoma City Bombing Memorial, where not only the presence of, but the size, shape, and positioning of each chair informs the viewer/audience/witness. The occupied chair represents opposing qualities (homeliness, belonging, comfort). At no time is “Chair” simply interchangeable with a generic inanimate object in human culture. And it is this specificity which informs the art of the Chair Dance. Thank You for sharing your interesting thoughts on the Chair Dance. And be careful out there apprehending perps! ![]() [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtrIc8vq7wU"]YouTube- Don Mclean - empty chairs[/ame] |

Thank you for this. You really made me think, and I appreciate that.I learned something from this, how refreshing. I will be back after I apprehend a few criminals.

Is our valuation and digestion of the chair in question heavily determined by the gender presentation of the dancer themselves?
Does that make sense? Last edited by Medusa; 12-10-2009 at 02:43 PM. |

I honestly do not know what a chair dance is!
However, it's time to get googling. I suppose I could imagine what it is. But then by the complexity of the first post, one would think it is beyond that. Crone : ) |
