Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between ​the ​subjective time experience and aesthetic experience​,​ including bodily sensations​,​ as observers view recordings of dance choreographies of contemporary and hip-hop dance. After watching each of ​the ​six different video-recorded dance choreographies, ​the ​participants (Serbian students N=122, aged between 17 and 27) rated their perception of time (i.e., duration, passage), ​their ​aesthetic experience, and bodily sensations. In regard to the duration aspect of time perception, ​the ​results indicated that​ the​ observers’ estimations of the duration of each choreography do not differ significantly from the objective duration of ​the ​observed choreography. In contrast,​ the​ results for the passage of time show that ​the ​participants perceived time as passing much faster​ when watching hip-hop choreographies​. Specifically for hip-hop choreographies​,​ Dynamism and Focus positively predict subjective time experience. In line with previous studies, these findings suggest that heightened focus on an aesthetic object, as well as immersion in an activity, tends to diminish awareness of the passage of time, leading to the sensation of time passing more quickly.
