It also performs a didactic function by sanctioning specific identities through the instruction and presentation of dances. This thesis examines the interaction of politics and the arts in shaping these identities in Saskatchewan. By tracing the establishment and development of staged dance, this thesis explores the formation of the Ukrainian Canadian identity in the twentieth century. Through analysis of primary documents, archival footage, and interviews with leaders in the dance community, a record of the development of Ukrainian dance in Saskatchewan has been created. As the reasons for the dances changed over time due to internal and external pressures, so did the dances and identities that were expressed and encouraged. This study also reveals that dance and politics are inextricably intertwined in the province. An internal nationalist / progressive political division shaped Ukrainian Canadian identity and the expression of that identity, including dance. Politics were imposed through control over the locations of dance training and performance. The legitimacy of the political divide, however, was challenged in the postwar period as artistry and aesthetics were emphasized. Political influence upon Ukrainian dance also extended beyond the Ukrainian Canadian community, and included consequences of general Canadian developments, such as the multicultural policy. By tracing the intersection between politics, identity and the arts in this ethnocultural community, how various influences shaped Ukrainian cultural identity is explored and critically examined. ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This study was funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (MA CGS) and the University of Saskatchewan (University Graduate Scholarship and Morton Travel Fund). This funding from the Department of History enabled me to conduct research throughout Saskatchewan and at Library and Archives Canada. I was also fortunate to receive assistance to present my research in progress at conferences. I thank my supervisor, Dr. Valerie Korinek, for inspiring me to enter graduate studies. Her insights into popular perception of Ukrainian culture on the prairies challenged my assumptions. I also thank my committee, Dr. John McCannon and Dr. Bill Waiser, for providing feedback throughout the process. This thesis would not be possible without the L'viv Summer Semester Abroad program. I thank Dr. Natalia Shostak from St. Thomas More College for arranging the program, and Pani Lesia and Pani Olena, for their language instruction. Finally, I thank my instructors at the Humboldt School of Dance and the Saskatoon School of Dance, Jocelyn Luchak, Teri Tkachuk, and Serhij Koroliuk. While I was never very talented, they were always encouraging. Innumerable others have assisted with this thesis. I thank the interviewees for inviting me into their homes and workplaces to share their experience with me. My gratitude goes to the staff at the archives for helping to locate sources. I also thank my past and present coworkers and my current employer, the Ukrainian Museum of Canada, for their patience with my enthusiasm and exhaustion throughout the writing process. Finally, I thank my amazing friends and family. Their support, whether in proof- reading, teaching me the finer points of wine, or taking me to baseball games in Boston, is why this thesis is complete. My family has been very patient, especially with my absence at key social events over the years; I hope their investment pays out. And thank you Brian, for being there for me all these years. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS PERMISSION TO USE.......................................................................................................i ABSTRACT....................................................................................................................... ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS.................................................................................................iii TABLE OF CONTENTS.................................................................................................. iv ILLUSTRATIONS............................................................................................................ vi LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS...........................................................................................vii 1.

    Opening Remarks Lawrence Adams was Amy Bowring’s revered mentor; his example has guided and encouraged her to tackle, with determination and purpose, assorted pursuits in dance. As Research Co-ordinator at Dance Collection Danse, Amy has been working with the organization, on contract, for five years. Many of you may know Amy through some of the projects in which she has been involved, and also as founder of the Society for Canadian Dance Studies which can boast a solid and active membership under her direction. First introduced to Dance Collection Danse in 1993 as a student undertaking research through York University’s dance programme, Amy’s passion for dance history triggered her interest in becoming seriously involved with DCD. After completing her BA in Fine Arts, Amy earned an MA in journalism from the University of Western Ontario. She is copy editor for The Dance Current magazine, has written various dance articles and encyclo- pedia entries, and is researching and writing a book on the 1948-1954 Canadian Ballet Festival phenomenon. And, to add more ingredients to the mix, she is a whiz at the computer! As Dance Collection Danse undergoes its planning process for upcoming and future activities, you can expect to see Amy’s involvement with DCD increase. To work with someone who is dedicated and skilled is a blessing, but to have someone on board who is also mindful and gracious is the best. The Editoral Committee and Board of Directors of Dance Collection Danse have dedicated this issue to Lawrence Adams, whose contribution to Canadian dance makes him deserving of ..

  • Chapter IX: Ukrainian Musical Folklore Discography As a Preserving Factor
    Art Spiritual Dimensions of Ukrainian Diaspora: Collective Scientific Monograph DOI 10.36074/art-sdoud.2020.chapter-9 Nataliia Fedorniak UKRAINIAN MUSICAL FOLKLORE DISCOGRAPHY AS A PRESERVING FACTOR IN UKRAINIAN DIASPORA NATIONAL SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE ABSTRACT: The presented material studies one of the important forms of transmission of the musical folklore tradition of Ukrainians in the United States and Canada during the XX – the beginning of the XXI centuries – sound recording, which is a component of the national spiritual experience of emigrants. Founded in the 1920s, the recording industry has been actively developed and has become a form of preservation and promotion of the traditional musical culture of Ukrainians in North America. Sound recordings created an opportunity to determine the features of its main genres, the evolution of forms, that are typical for each historical period of Ukrainians’ sedimentation on the American continent, as well as to understand the specifics of the repertoire, instruments and styles of performance. Leading record companies in the United States have recorded authentic Ukrainian folklore reconstructed on their territory by rural musicians and choirs. Arranged folklore material is represented by choral and bandura recordings, to which are added a large number of records, cassettes, CDs of vocal-instrumental pop groups and soloists, where significantly and stylistically diversely recorded secondary Ukrainian folklore (folklorism). INTRODUCTION. The social and political situation in Ukraine (starting from the XIX century) caused four emigration waves of Ukrainians and led to the emergence of a new cultural phenomenon – the art and folklore of Ukrainian emigration, i.e. diaspora culture. Having found themselves in difficult ambiguous conditions, where there was no favorable living environment, Ukrainian musical folklore began to lose its original identity and underwent assimilation processes.

  • Dancing Through the City and Beyond: Lives, Movements and Performances in a Romanian Urban Folk Ensemble
    Dancing through the city and beyond: Lives, movements and performances in a Romanian urban folk ensemble Submitted to University College London (UCL) School of Slavonic and East European Studies In fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) By Elizabeth Sara Mellish 2013 1 I, Elizabeth Sara Mellish, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Signed: 2 Abstract This thesis investigates the lives, movements and performances of dancers in a Romanian urban folk ensemble from an anthropological perspective. Drawing on an extended period of fieldwork in the Romanian city of Timi şoara, it gives an inside view of participation in organised cultural performances involving a local way of moving, in an area with an on-going interest in local and regional identity. It proposes that twenty- first century regional identities in southeastern Europe and beyond, can be manifested through participation in performances of local dance, music and song and by doing so, it reveals that the experiences of dancers has the potential to uncover deeper understandings of contemporary socio-political changes. This micro-study of collective behaviour, dance knowledge acquisition and performance training of ensemble dancers in Timi şoara enhances the understanding of the culture of dance and dancers within similar ensembles and dance groups in other locations. Through an investigation of the micro aspects of dancers’ lives, both on stage in the front region, and off stage in the back region, it explores connections between local dance performances, their participants, and locality and the city.
