Book excerpt: Come voyage through lost roots of the multi-dimensional artistry of collage. This seemingly simple method leads you on an adventure of self discovery, developing your innate abilities for shapes-shifting using paper, scissors and glue. Author and artist Donna Thompson shares her wisdom and stories as she leads you on a journey through time. From caves of old to collaging in your own home, this colorful adventure is an in-depth exploration of humanity’s ancient connections to making art. This triple layered approach is actually three books in one. It begins by guiding you through the mystical Doorway of Color, where you learn the Celtic ways of sensing, gathering and envisioning with images. Next comes the Doorway of Ceremonies, where you unearth indigenous ways of communing with collage. And finally, the Doorway of Dreams, leading to the most ancient ways of remembering who you truly are. Learning to quest with collage is all about playing with colors, signs and synchronicity. It is also a metaphor for the ongoing journey of each human life. You are invited to come along in search of multi-hued elements to weave into an ever unfolding landscape of your own design. Collage Quest is a guide for tracing these deep roots and translating them into modern day materials and language. It is a unique and powerful 21st century tool of co-creation. www.HealingInteriors.com

Still, she cannot help but hope her own story may turn out different than most--and certainly different than the tragic story of the Ghost of Craven Street Theater. Yet as she struggles to maintain her tenuous place in the ever-shrinking ballet company, win the attentions of principal dancer Philippe, and avoid company flirt Jack, Ella cannot deny the uncanny feeling that her life is mirroring that of the dead ballerina. Is she dancing ever closer to the edge of her own tragic end? Or will the secrets that are about to come to light offer release from the past? Mystery and romance make the perfect dance partners in this evocative story from fan-favorite Joanna Davidson Politano.

Book Synopsis Dance on Its Own Terms by : Melanie Bales
Download or read book Dance on Its Own Terms written by Melanie Bales and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2013-06-13 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dance on its Own Terms: Histories and Methodologies anthologizes a wide range of subjects examined from dance-centered methodologies: modes of research that are emergent, based in relevant systems of movement analysis, use primary sources, and rely on critical, informed observation of movement. The anthology fills a gap in current scholarship by emphasizing dance history and core disciplinary knowledge rather than theories imported from disciplines outside dance. Individual chapters serve as case studies that are further organized into three categories of significant dance activity: performance and reconstruction, pedagogy and choreographic process, and notational and other written forms that analyze and document dance. The breadth of the content reflects the richness and vibrancy of the dance field; each deeply informed examination serves as a window opening onto the larger world of dance. Conceptually, each chapter also raises concerns and questions that point to broadly inclusive methodological applications. Engaging and insightful, Dance on its Own Terms represents a major contribution to research on dance.
Download or read book Fields in Motion written by Dena Davida and published by Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press. This book was released on 2011-10-01 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fields in Motion: Ethnography in the Worlds of Dance examines the deeper meanings and resonances of artistic dance in contemporary culture. The book comprises four sections: methods and methodologies, autoethnography, pedagogies and creative processes, and choreographies as cultural and spiritual representations. The contributors bring an insiders insight to their accounts of the nature and function of these artistic practices, giving voice to dancers, dance teachers, creators, programmers, spectators, students, and scholars. International and intergenerational, this collection of groundbreaking scholarly research points to a new direction for both dance studies and dance anthropology. Traditionally the exclusive domain of aesthetic philosophers, the art of dance is here reframed as cultural practice, and its significance is revealed through a chorus of voices from practitioners and insider ethnographers.
Book Synopsis Queen of the Virgins by : M. Cynthia Oliver
Download or read book Queen of the Virgins written by M. Cynthia Oliver and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2010-06-30 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beauty pageants are wildly popular in the U.S. Virgin Islands, outnumbering any other single performance event and capturing the attention of the local people from toddlers to seniors. Local beauty contests provide women opportunities to demonstrate talent, style, the values of black womanhood, and the territory's social mores. Queen of the Virgins: Pageantry and Black Womanhood in the Caribbean is a comprehensive look at the centuries-old tradition of these expressions in the Virgin Islands. M. Cynthia Oliver maps the trajectory of pageantry from its colonial precursors at tea meetings, dance dramas, and street festival parades to its current incarnation as the beauty pageant or “queen show.” For the author, pageantry becomes a lens through which to view the region's understanding of gender, race, sexuality, class, and colonial power. Focusing on the queen show, Oliver reveals its twin roots in slave celebrations that parodied white colonial behavior and created Creole royal rituals and celebrations heavily influenced by Africanist aesthetics. Using the U.S. Virgin Islands as an intriguing case study, Oliver shows how the pageant continues to reflect, reinforce, and challenge Caribbean cultural values concerning femininity. Queen of the Virgins examines the journey of the black woman from degraded body to vaunted queen and how this progression is marked by social unrest, growing middle-class sensibilities, and contemporary sexual and gender politics.
Book Synopsis Collage of Korean Dance by : Aedeok Lee Cho
Download or read book Collage of Korean Dance written by Aedeok Lee Cho and published by Fulton Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2024-07-16 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a photo book of Korean dance. This is made by the immigrants who came to the United States to inherit and spread Korean culture and to share Korean culture with the multicultural American society. All photos in this book are from the Chicago Korean Dance Company's performances, focusing on the first ten years (2009-2019), six grand performances that were held every two years. Pictures of other performances and international performances are included in CKDC history pages. It should be noted that 98 percent of all dance costumes and dance props in the performance are made and imported from Korea. Korean dance is divided into three categories: court dance and folk dances that were passed down for a long time, folk dances that were created with the base of Korean dance movements, and original choreography dances that portray modern issues along with modern costumes. Each of the dances in the book is specified into these three categories, and it is listed in the programs. It should also be noted that Muyong and Chum are used interchangeably in Korean language, and both of these words mean "dance" in English. This book is made to inform the viewers about Korean dance, costumes, accessories, and props and to record the cultural activities of CKDC and Korean immigrants.
Book Synopsis Dancing with Merce Cunningham by : Marianne Preger-Simon
Download or read book Dancing with Merce Cunningham written by Marianne Preger-Simon and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dancing with Merce Cunningham is a buoyant, captivating memoir of a talented dancer's lifelong friendship with one of the choreographic geniuses of our time. Marianne Preger-Simon's story opens amid the explosion of artistic creativity that followed World War II. While immersed in the vibrant arts scene of postwar Paris during a college year abroad, Preger-Simon was so struck by Merce Cunningham's unconventional dance style that she joined his classes in New York. She soon became an important member of his brand new dance troupe--and a constant friend. Through her experiences in the Merce Cunningham Dance Company, Preger-Simon offers a rare account of exactly how Cunningham taught and interacted with his students. She describes the puzzled reactions of audiences to the novel non-narrative choreography of the company's debut performances. She touches on Cunningham's quicksilver temperament--lamenting his early frustrations with obscurity and the discomfort she suspects he endured in concealing his homosexuality and partnership with composer John Cage--yet she celebrates above all his dependable charm, kindness, and engagement. She also portrays the comradery among the company's dancers, designers, and musicians, many of whom--including Cage, David Tudor, and Carolyn Brown--would become integral to the avant-garde arts movement, as she tells tales of their adventures touring in a VW Microbus across the United States. Finally, reflecting on her connection with Cunningham throughout the latter part of his career, Preger-Simon recalls warm moments that nurtured their enduring bond after she left the dance company and, later, New York. Interspersed with her letters to friends and family, journal entries, and correspondence from Cunningham himself, Preger-Simon's memoir is an intimate look at one of the most influential companies in modern American dance and the brilliance of its visionary leader.
