Dance Newslettersummer19.Pdf FIVE COLLEGE DANCE DEPARTMENT NEWSLETTER 2018–2019 Inspired by the events of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, Camille A. Brown choreographed New Second Line, a celebration of the culture of New Orleans and the perseverance of Black people in the midst of devas- tation. The performance borrows its name from the energetic, spirited people who follow the traditional brass band parades for weddings social events and, most notably, funerals in New Orleans. Brown asserts that the dance “honors our ability to rise and keep rising.” PHOTOS BY DEREK FOWLES CAMILLE A.

  • Rhythm, Dance, and Resistance in the New Orleans Second Line
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles “We Made It Through That Water”: Rhythm, Dance, and Resistance in the New Orleans Second Line A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnomusicology by Benjamin Grant Doleac 2018 © Copyright by Benjamin Grant Doleac 2018 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION “We Made It Through That Water”: Rhythm, Dance, and Resistance in the New Orleans Second Line by Benjamin Grant Doleac Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnomusicology University of California, Los Angeles, 2018 Professor Cheryl L. Keyes, Chair The black brass band parade known as the second line has been a staple of New Orleans culture for nearly 150 years. Through more than a century of social, political and demographic upheaval, the second line has persisted as an institution in the city’s black community, with its swinging march beats and emphasis on collective improvisation eventually giving rise to jazz, funk, and a multitude of other popular genres both locally and around the world. More than any other local custom, the second line served as a crucible in which the participatory, syncretic character of black music in New Orleans took shape. While the beat of the second line reverberates far beyond the city limits today, the neighborhoods that provide the parade’s sustenance face grave challenges to their existence. Ten years after Hurricane Katrina tore up the economic and cultural fabric of New Orleans, these largely poor communities are plagued on one side by underfunded schools and internecine violence, and on the other by the rising tide of post-disaster gentrification and the redlining-in- disguise of neoliberal urban policy.

Chaszar © 2008 Julianna K. Chaszar Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2008 The dissertation of Julianna K. Chaszar was reviewed and approved* by the following: Roger L. Geiger Distinguished Professor of Higher Education Dissertation Adviser Chair of Committee William Pencak Professor of American History David Post Professor of Higher Education Patrick T. Terenzini Distinguished Professor of Higher Education Dorothy Evensen Professor-in-Charge of the Higher Education Program *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School. ii Abstract A wave of interest in honors programs occurred at American colleges and universities in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Although honors education emerged in the U.S. some thirty years earlier, its scope had been limited primarily to private institutions and allowed upper division students to undertake independent reading and research in their major field. In contrast, the period of revitalization and new program formation beginning in the late 1950s was characterized by expansion in several directions, including the introduction of programs for freshmen and sophomores, creation of honors options in general education, adoption of honors education by major public institutions, and collaboration between colleges and secondary schools to identify and encourage academically talented students. The Inter-University Committee on the Superior Student (ICSS), led by Joseph W. Cohen at the University of Colorado at Boulder, was a significant force behind the renewal of interest in honors work during that period.

  • Making of a College
    Making of the College 2.0 [Version of May 10, 2006] Anniversaries, especially round ones, are arbitrary points, but they can serve as significant moments of stocktaking and rearticulation. Hampshire College has just celebrated thirty-five years of educating students on campus; in 2006 we mark the fortieth anniversary of Franklin Patterson and Charles R. Longsworth’s The Making of a College. A New Departure in Higher Education;1 and in two years we can commemorate a fiftieth anniversary, the appearance of “The New College Plan” itself.2 As a classicist and student of Vergil, I cannot help but think: Tantae molis erat… -- “so great a task it was to found,” in this case, our college.3 And not inappropriately, for Hampshire College neither was nor is just any college. The subtitle of “The New College Plan” runs “A Proposal for a Major Departure in Higher Education.” Hampshire College was intended to be an experiment in post-secondary pedagogy, an alternative not only to the other four Pioneer Valley institutions that, since Hampshire’s founding, constitute, along with Hampshire, the Five College Consortium, but also to the then standard modes of delivering a liberal arts education. It was to embody many ideals and goals of the liberal arts, to be sure, but to do so in new ways. Students were to craft, with faculty advisors, customized concentrations, pursuing courses of study they did not merely select but created. No off the shelf majors and lists of required courses. Hampshire did away not only with the major in its traditional form and course credits or “hours”; gone were letter grades and discipline-based departments altogether.

It was all a mind and soul enlarging time, and I tried to help every minute of it develop me. Through all these activities, and particularly after I had been added to the Denishawn Dancers for the spring tour, I somehow managed to spend time in the studio at nights or on weekends, writing down the dances I was learning. Basically my notes were stick figures, drawn directly on the sheet music for the dance, and occasionally I had first to copy the music, which had been brought back in manuscript form fromEurope or Asia. During these hours I found inspiration in the life-sized portraits of St. Denis and Shawn hanging above me on the sea-green draped studio walls. The records of those hours are particularly useful at the present day, when happily our present fulfillment from looking backward is engender­ ing new interest and respect for the contributions of many of our great American dance forebears.
