Abstract

This article deals with the origins of the release dance technique, which occurred during the early sixties within the American postmodernism, as a new paradigm of the dance learning process that developed beyond the established models up to that moment coming from classical and modern dance, responding to the search for individual artistic freedom that was also detached from the scenic restrictions of the moment. From a critical compilation of information, our purpose is to offer a demarcation of the technique, since, although widespread among the dance community, there is great ignorance regarding its origins. It also includes the description of its main characteristics in relation to the use of ideokinesis, its principles and methodology and finally the different definitions used by the pioneers in its evolution. This technique provides a renewal on the dancers out look towards their body practice and an expansion of creative, personal and social skills. For this, a bibliographic review has been followed as a methodology.
