Physics in dance and dance to represent physical processes

Physics and dance, apparently, are very distant topics. Nevertheless dance offers to physics teachers many opportunity to teach physics in a motivating way, evidencing how physics construct models and how models are on the base of all human reasoning in interpreting phenomena. For instance physics describe in very simply way complex motions, as pirouettes and artistic jumps. On another point of view dance offers the opportunity to interpret and represent the way of thinking to physical processes, thanks to the opportunity to introduce dynamic actions. Our research based activities was developed in this two directions. From one side we implement an educational path based on the questions emerging when dance movements are observed, as angle of attack for study of dynamics of systems. From the other side some an interdisciplinary pool developed a choreutic representation of physical processes in particular representing time and the process that can give the comprehension of what time is. Teaching Physics in context is one of the key to open new way of learning for the pupils. It give th
