Abstract

This research revolves around the revolution that took place in visual art since the nineteen sixties, and the mutual influence between visual arts and performing arts as a result of the emergence of minimalism. The minimalist approach refused the modernist isolation of theatricality (theatrical sensibility) from visual arts, which paved the way for minimalism to influence performance artworks and vice versa.
This analytical study identifies the aspects of the intersection between the minimal visual arts of the nineteen sixties, and the dancer’s contemporaneous and similarly stripped-down works. The research also sheds light on the importance of the performing arts by examining the visual and philosophical aspects that enabled the performing arts to participate in shaping the features of minimalism in the second half of the twentieth century.
