My aim in this paper is to show how aesthetic intensity is related to the idea of presence, using the expertise of dance, which I learned during my fieldwork alongside contemporary dancers. I argue that the power and efficiency of gesture is mainly reached by an intense and full performative presence, in other words, when the gesture is inhabited.
