It had disappeared from most societies other than India since prehistoric times until revival in ancient Rome.<\/p>\n<p>Can the same be said of the performing arts? \u00a0Is there a tripartite hierarchy of magic, prowess, and connection to common human worldly values? If so, where in that hierarchy does dance stand? These questions are critical to understanding dance as a form of ecstatic expression. \u00a0Your thoughts much appreciated.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t forget to stop in at Sal&#8217;s or Pepe&#8217;s Pizza on Wooster Square. \u00a0Pepe&#8217;s &#8220;original&#8221; is cheeseless except for a touch of parmesan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Among other treasures too numerous to name (including Hoppers painted in North Truro and a Gutenberg Bible) is the coin collection featuring one bearing the aviary likenesses of the Capitoline Triad &#8212; the holy trinity of the Romans, consisting of &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/lobenthal.com\/blog\/?p=4914\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4914","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/lobenthal.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4914","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/lobenthal.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/lobenthal.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/lobenthal.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/lobenthal.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4914"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"http:\/\/lobenthal.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4914\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4928,"href":"http:\/\/lobenthal.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4914\/revisions\/4928"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/lobenthal.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4914"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/lobenthal.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4914"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/lobenthal.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4914"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
