Efficacy and the Arts: Ethical, Aesthetic and Spiritual Dimensions of Dance as Art
Autor Martin H Bloggen Limba Engleză Hardback – 24 sep 2026
The author addresses in depth the relationship between spirituality and dance: and his study probes the subject via the arts, the sciences and religion. This book seeks to represent, reground and revision the way we think about the arts; have the arts, and dance more specifically, re-cognized and legitimized in terms of their intrinsic and ethical nature, their own form of life. The performance discourse is divided into three major parts; Part One - The Ethical, Part Two - The Aesthetic, Part Three - The Spiritual.
This book will be of interest to scholars and practitioners working in dance, performance, religion and philosophy.

Recenzii
Martin Blogg’s exploration of spirituality and dance is not only profound but also transformative. His ability to delve into the depths of these subjects, drawing on his vast experience as a performance artist, academic, and author, is remarkable. The work transcends the boundaries of traditional academic study, inviting readers on a personal journey of introspection and discovery. The author’s willingness to challenge conventional thinking and explore the deeper meaning behind dance and spirituality resonates on a profound level. Martin Blogg’s manuscript is a significant contribution to the field, offering a unique perspective that is both thought-provoking and deeply insightful. I look forward to the opportunity to engage with his work further and to see the impact it will undoubtedly have on others in the field.

Martin is an energetic scholar with a sharp mind and deep passion for the metaphysical dimension of human experience. He has produced an engaging and significant study. He has an enormous background as a performance artist, philosopher and educationist, and his publications attest to his ability to handle complex conceptual material with coherence and clarity. His work stands in the best philosophical and educational traditions of the arts.

Martin Blogg addresses in depth the relationship between Spirituality and Dance: his study probes the subject via the arts, the sciences and religion. As a former ballerina, dancing the world over, and with a life-long commitment to Dance, I endorse the belief that within Dance there is a spiritual component – a faith and trust. This reaches beyond the presentation of oneself in the world of entertainment, worthwhile though that may be. The very atmosphere of Dance embraces music, a rising curtain, the ‘story’ and the dancer’s inner, yet outreaching feelings. Dance forms are legion, many being rooted in the cultural development of nations and covering deep-seated convictions. This publication is thought provoking and soul-searching, inciting healthy introspection, so actuating praise of the Spiritual/God.

Descriere
Efficacy and the Arts is written in response to the findings and recommendations of contemporary arts research as an existential quest for meaning. This book is addressed to arts legislators and administrators, arts communicators and educators, not the least to performance artists and dance artists more specifically.
