Feature: Stephani BabcockModern dance is a medium of artistic expression so varied and dynamic that to make any assertion about the genre as a whole is a difficult, if not impossible, task. In the way that it appropriates various cultural styles and traditions—breaking down conventions and making something anew—perhaps the only constants in modern dance are change and innovation. Moreover, when writing about dance, one is stuck with the problem that comes with describing almost any piece of art: how does one quantify the rational effects it has on both the artist and range of emotional effects it has on both the artist and the audience? Specifically, is it possible to trace the tangible way that the visceral movement of dance induces emotion? Stephani Babcock, recent graduate of the College of Fine Arts and current graduate student in UF’s Mental Health Counselor Education program, took on this challenge in a project that employed dance, photography, and psychological theory and culminated in her paper, “Choreographing Emotion: The Process of Creating ‘Viewfinder.’” Through the College of Fine Arts’ School of Theater and Dance, Babcock was able to explore the perplexing arena of human emotions through her lifelong love of dance and choreography.
