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.
Book Synopsis Longing for Spring by : Elaine A Heath
Download or read book Longing for Spring written by Elaine A Heath and published by Lutterworth Press. This book was released on 2011-05-26 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Delving into the widespread, contemporary longing for a more serious and communal experience of Christianity, this book provides important theoretical underpinnings and casts a vision for a new monasticism within the Wesleyan tradition. Elaine Heathand Scott Kisker call for the planting of neo-monastic churches which embody the Wesleyan vision of holiness in postmodern contexts. This book also points toward some vital shifts that are necessary in theological education in order to equip pastorsto lead such communities. Longing for Spring helps Wesleyans of all stripes understand the theory and praxis necessary for planting neo-monastic communities as a new model of the church that is particularly important in the postmodern context. The authors write in an engaging, conversational style that is conversant with postmodern culture, yet thoroughly informed by critical research. Heath and Kisker boldly challenge the imagination of the church, both within and beyond Wesleyan traditions, to consider the possibility of revitalizing the church through the new monasticism.

Book Synopsis Embracing the Past--Forging the Future by : Wm. Andrew Schwartz
Download or read book Embracing the Past--Forging the Future written by Wm. Andrew Schwartz and published by . This book was released on 2015-09-17 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The times they are a-changin'. As such, our theology needs to adapt--to be responsive to the changing landscape. The idea for Embracing the Past--Forging the Future: A New Generation of Wesleyan Theology came from our assessment that Wesleyan theology has yet to fully adapt to this changing landscape, and that the future of Wesleyan theology requires the bringing together of old and new voices. The difficult task of balancing between continuity and change--keeping up with the developments of our culture and staying true to the roots of our tradition--requires the dual focus of looking forward and backward simultaneously. In this volume, we have brought together contributions by young Wesleyan scholars (graduate students and junior faculty) as a way of illustrating and articulating a new generation of Wesleyan theology. These younger voices demonstrate the desire to push Wesleyan theology in new directions. Additionally, we have included contributions from senior scholars who have been doing important work and who have already made significant contributions to Wesleyan theology. This is not simply the ""old guard"" but the voices of scholars who continue to make a profound impact on Wesleyan theology. ""This is an indispensable source for anyone interested in the future of the Methodist tradition . . . It deserves a close reading by all who have a stake in the future of the tradition, most especially by those who would argue for a very different way forward . . . This volume lays down a marker for the uniqueness of Methodism and the need to sharpen its identity in the light of recent cultural developments."" --William J. Abraham, Outler Professor of Wesley Studies, Perkins School of Theology, Southern Methodist University ""These are exciting days for Wesleyan theology, and these essays testify well to the winsomeness of the Wesleyan way. Exploring what is 'post, ' 'past, ' or 'plural, ' these young scholars (and a few seasoned voices too) express the breadth and depth of what this tradition's theological vision now offers the contemporary world."" --Thomas Jay Oord, coeditor of Postmodern and Wesleyan? and author of The Uncontrolling Love of God ""Every Christian tradition that seeks to be viable for the twenty-first century will have to do what these younger Wesleyan theologians attempt in this volume: embrace their past while forging a plausible future. Wesleyans will argue with each other about the proposals herein, but that is precisely why books like these are necessary and how traditions are forged."" --Amos Yong, Professor of Theology and Mission, Fuller Theological Seminary ""If the future of Wesleyan theology rests in the hands of bright and creative young scholars like those who edited and contribute to this volume, then Wesleyanism has a very bright future."" --Mark H.
