Conclusion<br />
In conclusion, I would like to return to a word in Danielson’s vocabulary, a core<br />
concept and reflection upon his positive and artistic approach toward Doris<br />
Humphrey and José Limón’s work. This word—namely, humanism—is interpreted<br />
and assessed quite differently in the field of human sciences. What are<br />
Danielson’s—and what were Humphrey’s and Limón’s—humanistic values?<br />
“I can’t speak for Humphrey and Limón, but for me personally, humanism<br />
means looking at everything through the lens of a human being. It is<br />
the lens of human experience, not a lens that takes scientific measurements<br />
or shows how high the leg goes. First of all, it is about defining what movements<br />
are, what breath is, what momentum is…and then being conscious of<br />
the human experience. For example, ‘Why do we jump?’—because one thing<br />
is certain, that we are going to come right back down! It is that thing about<br />
the human being—striving and desiring to try out new things, and to explore,<br />
and to search, and to live…”
