Book Synopsis The Oxford Handbook of Dance and Reenactment by : Mark Franko
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Dance and Reenactment written by Mark Franko and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 681 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Starting from differences between reenactment and the more established practice of historical reconstruction, leading practitioners and theorists ask how the notion of preservation and representation associated with reconstruction is transformed by reenactment into historical experience and affective relation to the past in the present. In other terms: How does dance convey historical meaning through sensuous form? Danced reenactment poses the problem of history and historicity in relation to the troubled temporality inherent to dance itself. Ephemerality as the central trope of dance is hence displaced in favor of dance as a reiterative practice that confounds categories of chronological time and opens up a theoretical space of history that is often invisibilized by ideologies of immediacy traditionally attributed to dancing.

Book Synopsis The Oxford Handbook of Dance and Competition by : Sherril Dodds
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Dance and Competition written by Sherril Dodds and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford Handbook of Dance and Competition examines the complex interactions between dance and competition, and addresses six areas of investigation: how dancers invest in competition to ensure economic survival and social standing; how dancing bodies and movement aesthetics are re-choreographed in response to a competition format; the strategies that dancers use to negotiate the dominant rhetoric of competition; the values and criteria that underpin frameworks of judgment and experiences of spectatorship in the competition realm; how failure, loss, and a resistance to structures of winning are engendered through danced attitudes toward competition; and the veiled ideas and strategic agendas that underpin dance competition.
Book Synopsis The Oxford Handbook of Dance and Ethnicity by : Anthony Shay
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Dance and Ethnicity written by Anthony Shay and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-04-20 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dance intersects with ethnicity in a powerful variety of ways and at a broad set of venues. Dance practices and attitudes about ethnicity have sometimes been the source of outright discord, as when African Americans were - and sometimes still are - told that their bodies are 'not right' for ballet, when Anglo Americans painted their faces black to perform in minstrel shows, when 19th century Christian missionaries banned the performance of particular native dance traditions throughout much of Polynesia, and when the Spanish conquistadors and church officials banned sacred Aztec dance rituals. More recently, dance performances became a locus of ethnic disunity in the former Yugoslavia as the Serbs of Bosnia attended dance concerts but only applauded for the Serbian dances, presaging the violent disintegration of that failed state. The Oxford Handbook of Dance and Ethnicity brings together scholars from across the globe in an investigation of what it means to define oneself in an ethnic category and how this category is performed and represented by dance as an ethnicity. Newly-commissioned for the volume, the chapters of the book place a reflective lens on dance and its context to examine the role of dance as performed embodiment of the historical moments and associated lived identities. In bringing modern dance and ballet into the conversation alongside forms more often considered ethnic, the chapters ask the reader to contemplate previous categories of folk, ethnic, classical, and modern. From this standpoint, the book considers how dance maintains, challenges, resists or in some cases evolves new forms of identity based on prior categories. Ultimately, the goal of the book is to acknowledge the depth of research that has been undertaken and to promote continued research and conceptualization of dance and its role in the creation of ethnicity. Dance and ethnicity is an increasingly active area of scholarly inquiry in dance studies and ethnomusicology alike and the need is great for serious scholarship to shape the contours of these debates. The Oxford Handbook of Dance and Ethnicity provides an authoritative and up-to-date survey of original research from leading experts which will set the tone for future scholarly conversation.

Book Synopsis The Bloomsbury Companion to Dance Studies by : Sherril Dodds
Download or read book The Bloomsbury Companion to Dance Studies written by Sherril Dodds and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-03-21 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bloomsbury Companion to Dance Studies brings together leading international dance scholars in this single collection to provide a vivid picture of the state of contemporary dance research. The book commences with an introduction that privileges dancing as both a site of knowledge formation and a methodological approach, followed by a provocative overview of the methods and problems that dance studies currently faces as an established disciplinary field. The volume contains eleven core chapters that each map out a specific area of inquiry: Dance Pedagogy, Practice-As-Research, Dance and Politics, Dance and Identity, Dance Science, Screendance, Dance Ethnography, Popular Dance, Dance History, Dance and Philosophy, and Digital Dance. Although these sub-disciplinary domains do not fully capture the dynamic ways in which dance scholars work across multiple positions and perspectives, they reflect the major interests and innovations around which dance studies has organized its teaching and research. Therefore each author speaks to the labels, methods, issues and histories of each given category, while also exemplifying this scholarship in action. The dances under investigation range from experimental conceptual concert dance through to underground street dance practices, and the geographic reach encompasses dance-making from Europe, North and South America, the Caribbean and Asia. The book ends with a chapter that looks ahead to new directions in dance scholarship, in addition to an annotated bibliography and list of key concepts. The volume is an essential guide for students and scholars interested in the creative and critical approaches that dance studies can offer.
Book Synopsis Choreography Invisible by : Anna Pakes
Download or read book Choreography Invisible written by Anna Pakes and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-04-28 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dance is often considered an ephemeral art, one that disappears nearly as soon as it materializes, leaving no physical object behind. Yet some dance practice involves people trying to embody something that exists before - and survives beyond - their particular acts of dancing. What exactly is that thing? And (how) do dances continue to exist when not performed? Anna Pakes seeks to answer these and related questions in this book, drawing on analytic philosophy of art to explore the metaphysics of dance making, performance and disappearance. Focusing on Western theater dance, Pakes also traces the different ways dances have been conceptualized across time, and what those historical shifts imply for the ontology of dance works.
Book Synopsis The Oxford Handbook of Contemporary Ballet by : Kathrina Farrugia-Kriel
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Contemporary Ballet written by Kathrina Farrugia-Kriel and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021 with total page 1013 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Nearly four hundred and fifty years in, ballet still resonates-though the stages have become international, and the dancers, athletes far removed from noble amateurs. While vibrations from the form's beginnings clearly resound, much has transformed. Nowadays ballet dancers aspire to work across disciplines with choreographers who value a myriad of abilities. Dance theorists and historians make known possibilities and polemics in lieu of notating dances verbatim, and critics do the daily work of recording performance histories and interviewing artists. Ideas circulate, questions arise, and discussions about how to resist ballet's outmoded traditions take precedence. In the dance community, calls for innovation have defined palpable shifts in ballet's direction and resultantly we have arrived at a new moment in its history that is unquestionably recognized as a genre onto its own: Contemporary Ballet. An aspect of this recent discipline is that its dancemakers, more often than not, seek to reorient the viewer by celebrating what could be deemed vulnerabilities, re-construing ideals of perfection, problematizing the marginalized/mainstream dichotomy, bringing audiences closer in to observe, and letting the art become an experience rather than a distant object preciously guarded out of reach. Hence, the practice of ballet is moving to become a less-mediated and more active process in many circumstances. Performers and audiences alike are challenged, and while convention is still omnipresent, choices are being made. For some, this approach has been drawn on for decades, and for others it signifies a changing of the guard, yet however we arrive there, the conclusion is the same: Contemporary Ballet is not a style. That is to say, it is not a trend, phase, or fashionable term that will fade, rather it is a clear period in ballet's time deserved of investigation. And it is into this moment that we enter"--
Book Synopsis The Oxford Handbook of Screendance Studies by : Douglas Rosenberg
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Screendance Studies written by Douglas Rosenberg and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-06-03 with total page 624 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford Handbook of Screendance Studies offers a full overview of the histories, practices, and critical and theoretical foundations of the rapidly changing landscape of screendance. Drawing on their practices, technologies, theories, and philosophies, scholars from the fields of dance, performance, visual art, cinema and media arts articulate the practice of screendance as an interdisciplinary, hybrid form that has yet to be correctly sited as an academic field worthy of critical investigation. Each chapter discusses and reframe current issues, as a means of promoting and enriching dialogue within the wider community of dance and the moving image. Topics addressed embrace politics of the body; agency, race, and gender in screendance; the relationship of choreography to image; constructs of space and time; representation and effacement; production and curatorial practice; and other areas of intersecting disciplines. The Oxford Handbook of Screendance Studies features newly-commissioned and original scholarship that will be essential reading for all those interested in the intersection of dance and the moving image, including film and video-makers, dance artists, screendance artists, academics and writers, producers, composers, as well as the wider interested public. It will become an invaluable resource for researchers and professionals in the field.

Book Synopsis Transmissions in Dance by : Lesley Main
Download or read book Transmissions in Dance written by Lesley Main and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-11-23 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a collection of essays that capture the artistic voices at play during a staging process. Situating familiar practices such as reimagining, reenactment and recreation alongside the related and often intersecting processes of transmission, translation and transformation, it features deep insights into selected dances from directors, performers, and close associates of choreographers. The breadth of practice on offer illustrates the capacity of dance as a medium to adapt successfully to diverse approaches and, further, that there is a growing appetite amongst audiences for seeing dances from the near and far past. This study spans a century, from Rudolf Laban’s Dancing Drumstick (1913) to Robert Cohan’s Sigh (2015), and examines works by Mary Wigman, Madge Atkinson (Natural Movement), Doris Humphrey, Martha Graham, Yvonne Rainer and Rosemary Butcher, an eclectic mix that crosses time and borders.
Book Synopsis Choreographie als Kulturtechnik by : Jörn Ahrens
Download or read book Choreographie als Kulturtechnik written by Jörn Ahrens and published by Neofelis Verlag. This book was released on 2022-04-25 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Der Begriff der Choreographie erfährt zurzeit eine bemerkenswerte interdisziplinäre Ausweitung: Choreographie wird als qualitative Instanz für die Analyse verschiedenster kultureller, gesellschaftlicher und ästhetischer Praktiken und Lebensformen verwandt und erscheint im Licht einer Kulturtechnik. Dabei markiert Choreographie diejenige Instanz, die chaotische und unübersichtliche Bewegungsformen in den Fluss bringen, ordnen und regulieren kann. Choreographie erhält geradezu eine kulturstiftende Dimension, die sie als Kulturtechnik zu denken gibt. Welches Potenzial birgt ein Verständnis von Choreographie als Kulturtechnik? Welche kulturprägenden Optionen liegen in der Kunst des Choreographischen und was bedeutet dies für den Begriff der Choreographie, der eng mit den Potenzialen des Körpers korreliert? Vor diesem Hintergrund eröffnet der Band eine kritische Auseinandersetzung mit den Funktionen, Potenzialen, Zuschreibungen und Versprechungen von Choreographie. Aus kulturtheoretischer und -soziologischer, tanz-, theater-, medien- und kunstwissenschaftlicher Perspektive werden ästhetische und kulturelle Tragweiten von Choreographie diskutiert und im Kontext von Szenographien, Erinnerungstechniken, Ausstellungskonzeptionen, Museums-Events, autobiographischen Entwürfen, Gesellschaftsformationen, Aufführungsästhetiken und digitalen Tools untersucht. Auf der Grundlage ihrer strukturellen Gefüge, die medial durch Notationen, scores und Handlungsanweisungen vermittelt sind, bringen Choreographien Formen und Gestalten hervor. Ihnen kommt dabei eine ästhetische und kulturelle Funktion der Ordnungsstiftung zu. Außerdem scheint ihre Kunst eine geradezu transformatorische Organisationskraft zu besitzen, die es versteht, mit energetischen Kräften zwischen Körpern, Räumen und Zeiten 'gliedernd' zu wirken. Choreographie erscheint mitunter sogar als eine kulturprägende Instanz, die mit einer Gabe der Selbstorganisation fern subjektzentrierter Einflussnahme ausgestattet ist. Mit Beiträgen von Jörn Ahrens, Lisa Beißwanger, Hartmut Böhme, Gerko Egert, Susanne Foellmer, Sabine Huschka, Bojana Kunst, Kirsten Maar, Sebastian Matthias, Katja Schneider, Gerald Siegmund, Christina Thurner und Birgit Wiens.
