Book excerpt: In her unique collection of the verbal language of dance practitioners and researchers, Valerie Preston-Dunlop presents a comprehensive view of people in dance: what they do, their movement, their sound, and the space in which they work - from the standpoint of the performers, choreographers, audiences, administrators, and teachers. The words and phrases of their technical and vernacular languages, which are used to communicate what is essentially a non-verbal activity, have been collected in rehearsal classes and workshops by interviews, and from published sources.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yvonne Wright attended a ballroom dancing class with her friend at the age of 11, where she became captivated with dance. Learning to dance led her to become a competitor where she later qualified as a ballroom dancing teacher which allowed her self-worth, self-confidence and social skills to grow. This unique book gives readers an insight into how popular music since the 1960s has affected how we dance. It also explores how dance impacts positively on our physical health and mental well-being and includes quotes from social dancers running through the narrative. It has information about the various styles of dance and details of organisations who can help you find an appropriate dance class near you. Dancing Through the Decades tells the fascinating story of how an extremely introverted, dyslexic, working-class girl with no self-esteem grew into a confident adult who not only ran her own dancing school for thirty years, but who also earned a Bachelor of Education, a Master of Business Administration and gained a National Professional Qualification for Headship. Yvonne became a confident public speaker who sat on a national advisory board for Special Educational Needs and is in the process of publishing a series of podcasts titled Dancing Through the Decade.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book takes its point of departure from the overwhelming interest in theories of the body and performativity in sociology and cultural studies in recent years.

Download or read book Merce Cunningham written by Carrie Noland and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2020-01-23 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most influential choreographers of the twentieth century, Merce Cunningham is known for introducing chance to dance. Far too often, however, accounts of Cunningham’s work have neglected its full scope, focusing on his collaborations with the visionary composer John Cage or insisting that randomness was the singular goal of his choreography. In this book, the first dedicated to the complete arc of Cunningham’s career, Carrie Noland brings new insight to this transformative artist’s philosophy and work, providing a fresh perspective on his artistic process while exploring aspects of his choreographic practice never studied before. Examining a rich and previously unseen archive that includes photographs, film footage, and unpublished writing by Cunningham, Noland counters prior understandings of Cunningham’s influential embrace of the unintended, demonstrating that Cunningham in fact set limits on the role chance played in his dances. Drawing on Cunningham’s written and performed work, Noland reveals that Cunningham introduced variables before the chance procedure was applied and later shaped and modified the chance results. Chapters explore his relation not only to Cage, but also Marcel Duchamp, Robert Rauschenberg, James Joyce, and Bill T. Jones. Ultimately, Noland shows that Cunningham approached movement as more than “movement in itself,” and that his work enacted archetypal human dramas. This remarkable book will forever change our appreciation of the choreographer’s work and legacy.
Book Synopsis Terpsichore in Sneakers by : Sally Banes
Download or read book Terpsichore in Sneakers written by Sally Banes and published by Wesleyan University Press. This book was released on 1987-06-01 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A dance critic's essays on post-modern dance. Drawing on the postmodern perspective and concerns that informed her groundbreaking Terpischore in Sneakers, Sally Bane's Writing Dancing documents the background and development of avant-garde and popular dance, analyzing individual artists, performances, and entire dance movements. With a sure grasp of shifting cultural dynamics, Banes shows how postmodern dance is integrally connected to other oppositional, often marginalized strands of dance culture, and considers how certain kinds of dance move from the margins to the mainstream. Banes begins by considering the act of dance criticism itself, exploring its modes, methods, and underlying assumptions and examining the work of other critics. She traces the development of contemporary dance from the early work of such influential figures as Merce Cunningham and George Balanchine to such contemporary choreographers as Molissa Fenley, Karole Armitage, and Michael Clark. She analyzes the contributions of the Judson Dance Theatre and the Workers' Dance League, the emergence of Latin postmodern dance in New York, and the impact of black jazz in Russia. In addition, Banes explores such untraditional performance modes as breakdancing and the "drunk dancing" of Fred Astaire.
