Even if it is possible to fuse the senses in a way that would permit you experience the same stimulus, who cares? Can it ever have an effect on how the masses view dance? My interest in this originated from my desire for dance to be as accessible as music, and thought that if I could in some way replicate the sensory process of sound though movement it would somehow solve my problem There are two ways to break down the problem, one being the science involved in seeing and hearing and the other being the culture that surrounds music and dance. The science of fusing/confusing the senses, while kind of trippy, seems more attainable than actually changing the stereotypes of how music and dance need to be perceived. All I want is to be able to tour like a band; any suggestions on how to make it happen? There is something about giving a pop culture driven audience what they want, which in dance is essentially something to look at, while at the same time tricking them into believing what you are giving them is really what they wanted all along. Is this all too out there for non-dance audiences to ever pick up on? How did bands like Sonic Youth break through the art/non-art audience barrier?
