abstract:
Several studies have been devoted to the dance in Ancient Mesopotamia, and
more in general in the Ancient Near East: epigraphic and/or iconographic
sources have been considered in order to reconstruct the terminology, the
occasions, and the ritual aspects of one of the most ancient human practices.
However, a study aiming at reconstructing the dance technical aspects -i.e.
steps and choreographies possibly established by “schools” or tradition- is still lacking. In this perspective, the present study re-examines the Mesopotamian
documentation through the lens of the dance technique.
