The book of the historian of culture, anthropologist, specialist in the history of dance and motor culture Irina Sirotkina - on the rethinking of higher sensitivity in the early twentieth century.
Where do the avant -garde spirit and aspiration come from, how to hold and preserve them? What is achieved and maintained by constant openness of changes? How is it given, what is the creative and - just freedom? In search of answers to these questions, they are increasingly addressing the body, its movements, internal or “muscle” feeling.
Many tried and try to push the limits of human capabilities, find a new, “sixth” feeling that would help to perceive still unknown. The artists of the avant -garde became one of the first to assess the meaning of the sixth feeling - the potential of movement, physical action as a source of meaning and expression. Suffering the fact that knowledge-capacity is hierarchically subordinated to the knowledge of theoretical, the artists of the avant-garde laid the foundation for a “motor turn” in humanitarian knowledge
