Live Performances and Dance Films Curator/Artistic Director Brandon Whited Contemporary Perspectives: live performances and dance films Curator/Artistic Director Brandon Whited June 20, 2021 Center Stage Theater Director’s Note It is with great joy and pleasure that we welcome you back to the theater. It goes without saying that this has been an incredi- bly challenging year. While many industries have been effected by the pandemic in significant ways, the performing arts—and dance in particular—have endured devastating economic and structural ramifi- cations. COVID’s impact on the arts has been widely un-addressed at the governmental level and it is due to the unshakeable support of arts advocates, donors, and community organizers that we are here today. This afternoon’s program shines a light on the variety and complexity that exists within the scope of contemporary dance. From sensory, experimental films, to high-test, percussive virtuosity, Con- temporary dance springs forth in response to the moment. Develop- ing from the hybridity of trainings in younger generations of dance makers, contemporary dance, with firm roots in modern dance, defies narrow classification with its incorporation of aesthetics and technical aspects of ballet, modern, jazz, commercial forms, diasporic cultural dance forms and more. Prioritizing creative movement inventions and pursuit of new ways to think about and create dance—contemporary dance is uniquely suited to a forward-thinking focus on movement research. Today’s program features artists from around the country and around the globe, representing multiple facets and contemporary perspectives in the field of dance. With conceptual dance film, site-re- sponsive screen-dance, and live performances ranging in styles and aesthetics—it is no wonder that the margins of what constitutes con- temporary dance are blurred and ever-changing. Representing a form that is still growing and evolving, many approaches to developing contemporary dance emerge from evolutionary creative process. Even as we witness new and unique points-of-view, we continue to look to the future and wonder what yet will come. Eyes on the horizon, while thoroughly experiencing the present moment. Thank you so much for spending the afternoon with us, and for your ongoing support of the performing arts. We hope to see you again soon! —Brandon Whited, Curator/Artistic Director Contemporary Perspectives: live performances and dance films At Once SG Dancers/Whitney Ross Choreography: Whitney Ross Dancers: Morgan Geraghty, Stephanie Hing, Kate Perkins & Maddie Takemori There is no other .

Fresh off the Film Festival Circuit—with screenings in over 26 film festivals—Cygnus offers a prime example of the simplicity and nuance of masterful cinematography, serving as a foundation for vulnerable, transcendent expression of the human form. Ms. Hagan’s film offers a depth of vision and mastery of the craft of dance filmmaking, and also features her riveting perfor- mance and presence as the subject of the film. Choreographers-Filmakers Gianna Burright is a California based dance artist who holds a BFA in Dance from UCSB and an MFA in Choreography from Trinity Laban Conservatory of Music and Dance. At Laban she was a Leverhulme Scholar and recipient of the Lesley Anne-Sayers Research Award.

Gianna is the co-founder/co-artistic director of the newly established international dance collective GBworks which supports and produces work of female, female identi- fying and non-binary artists that has crossed the borders of the US, England and Scotland with desire to keep expanding. “The autobiographical, collaborative process that was used to establish this new work created space for all collabora- tors to define the world that they are currently experiencing and also birth a world that they wish to see and be a part of. Effort of Hope questions what it means to not live fully and cherishes memories of past human connection while under- standing that we must never return to “normal”.

She hopes to pursue a professional career in dance in the LA movie/commercial industry, company work in NYC or LA, musical theater on Broadway, or whatever else comes her way! Katie is excited and expectant for what the future holds. She is very grateful for her Santa Bar- bara community because she would not be where she is without the support and love of the arts from her hometown. Katie plans to continue living her life boldly from her heart and make a positive impact on the world.

  • Is a Genre of Dance Performance That Developed During the Mid-Twentieth
    Contemporary Dance Dance 3-4 -Is a genre of dance performance that developed during the mid-twentieth century - Has grown to become one of the dominant genres for formally trained dancers throughout the world, with particularly strong popularity in the U.S. and Europe. -Although originally informed by and borrowing from classical, modern, and jazz styles, it has since come to incorporate elements from many styles of dance. Due to its technical similarities, it is often perceived to be closely related to modern dance, ballet, and other classical concert dance styles. -It also employs contract-release, floor work, fall and recovery, and improvisation characteristics of modern dance. -Involves exploration of unpredictable changes in rhythm, speed, and direction. -Sometimes incorporates elements of non-western dance cultures, such as elements from African dance including bent knees, or movements from the Japanese contemporary dance, Butoh. -Contemporary dance draws on both classical ballet and modern dance -Merce Cunningham is considered to be the first choreographer to "develop an independent attitude towards modern dance" and defy the ideas that were established by it. -Cunningham formed the Merce Cunningham Dance Company in 1953 and went on to create more than one hundred and fifty works for the company, many of which have been performed internationally by ballet and modern dance companies. -There is usually a choreographer who makes the creative decisions and decides whether the piece is an abstract or a narrative one. -Choreography is determined based on its relation to the music or sounds that is danced to. .

  • Plop's Diary Model Text- Super Challenge Monday 18Th January Dear Diary, What a Day It Was! Today, I Finally Told My Parents T
    Plop’s Diary Model Text- Super Challenge Monday 18th January Dear Diary, What a day it was! Today, I finally told my parents that I’m AFRAID of the DARK. I said the dark is NASTY! My parents explained me that to be a real owl, I must stay up all night to hunt. This is called being nocturnal. After that, they told me to go and explore the dark. So, I nervously set off with a flip, flop, flap to see a young, sweet boy who was watching fireworks. He told me that dark was EXCITING because you can’t see fireworks unless it is dark. That night, I watched the fireworks with my mum, dad and the young boy. The dark IS exciting but I still don’t like it AT ALL! At midnight, my dad went hunting and I went to bed. I hope I’ll be a REAL barn owl soon. Plop the owl xx Tuesday 19th January Dear Diary, What a lovely night I’ve had but I still feel frustrated that I don’t like the dark! Today, my mum told me to go and explore the dark again so I set off with a flip, flop, flap and landed beside a friendly, little boy. He was sitting by a campfire looking lonely. I asked him if he liked the dark and he said it was FUN because you can make hot cocoa and sit around the campfire singing songs. So, I stayed with him and his friends all night, singing songs by the camp fire.

  • Concert of Hellenic Association of Electroacoustic Music Composers Anechoic Pulse
    Concert of Hellenic Association of Electroacoustic Music Composers Anechoic Pulse - Panagiotis Kokoras 9:44 De Ligno Chalybeque - Konstantinos Karathanasis 9:40 Rites of Passage- Stylianos Giannoylakis 7:30 Polychoron- Nikos Stauropoulos 9:14 Instant of a crystal glass - Theodore Lotis 9:14 Curator: Katerina Tzedaki Anechoic Pulse, (2003-2004), 09:40 The life of the piece began in York, England in August 2003, where most of the sound material recorded at the anechoic chamber at the University of York. A couple of months later I returned back to Greece after a long stay in England and I restarted to work on the material at my personal home studio. However, a new move stopped me again from its development. Finally, everything came together one year later during the summer of 2004 where the piece finished at the Mastering Studio of the Department of Music Technology and Acoustics in Rethimno, Crete. Having the luxury to work without deadlines and on a non real-time environment I tried to refine and control the finniest sound detail. I tried to create a kind of virtuosity of the medium. The sound material, not easily recognized most of the time, undergoes a rather simple transformation in terms of sound processing using editing tools such as hard-limiting, maximizers, cut n paste, dynamic envelope changes, time stretches, and binaural spatialization. The piece ends with a pulse drone created with tiny strokes of a metallic stick on a 19 inches timpani. The work is dedicated to the composer Sungji Hong. - Panayiotis Kokoras, Rethimno August 2004. This piece was awarded First Prize at the international electroacoustic composition competition Musica Viva 2005 in Lisbon, Portugal.

  • It Takes Two by Carolyn Merritt
    Photo: Keira Heu-Jwyn Chang It Takes Two by Carolyn Merritt What will become of us if we can’t learn to see and be with others? Can we see ourselves as others do, in order to navigate the path toward greater communication and understanding, without relinquishing our identity in the process? Together, Union Tanguera and Kate Weare Dance Company probe these questions in Sin Salida, their stunning cross-pollination of Argentine tango and contemporary dance recently presented at the Annenberg Center. Titled after Jean-Paul Sartre’s 1944 play No Exit (Huis clos in French), the production weaves together essential elements of each form with points of connection and tension, positing dance as a metaphorical map for human relations. Five chairs mark the upstage space and a single light hangs above a piano downstage left, evoking a tense audition. Film images, in negative, appear against the backdrop—a woman tending her hair at a vanity, a couple framed in a doorway, their essence muddied in the wash of black. Union Tanguera Co-Artistic Directors Claudia Codega and Esteban Moreno dance an elegant, salon-style tango that combines the outward focus and enlarged vocabulary of stage tango with the inward intention of the improvised, social Argentine form. They spin as if in balancé turns to the sounds of tango waltz, heads and focus trailing behind. Moreno lifts Codega to fan her legs wide in a split en l’air. Their costuming—stiletto heels and a tight red, knee-length dress slit to the hip for Codega, and dark dress shirt and slacks for Moreno—reference “traditional” tango aesthetics and gender dynamics.

First, several film and television choreographers were surveyed. Second, the literature was analyzed to determine the evolution of dance on film and television (from the choreographers’ perspective).

  • Jacob's Pillow Presents Canada's Red Sky
    NATIONAL MEDAL OF ARTS | NATIONAL HISTORIC LANDMARK ​ FOR IMAGES AND MORE INFORMATION CONTACT: Nicole Tomasofsky, Public Relations & Communications Manager 413.243.9919 x132 [email protected] JACOB’S PILLOW PRESENTS CANADA’S RED SKY PERFORMANCE, AUGUST 7-11; CENTERPIECE OF WEEKLONG CELEBRATION OF INDIGENOUS DANCE AND CULTURE July 22, 2019 – (Becket, MA) Red Sky Performance makes their Doris Duke Theatre debut with the U.S. Premiere of Trace, August 7-11. Red Sky is a leading company of contemporary Indigenous performance in Canada and ​ ​ worldwide, led by Artistic Director Sandra Laronde. “Magnificent in the scope of its imagination” (Globe and ​ Mail), Trace is a highly kinetic contemporary dance work influenced by Anishinaabe sky and star stories, offering ​ ​ ​ a glimpse into Indigenous origins. The U.S. premiere of Trace is the centerpiece of The Land On Which We ​ ​ Dance, a landmark gathering of Indigenous dance and culture at Jacob’s Pillow, curated by Sandra Laronde in ​ association with Hawaiian dancer/choreographer Christopher K. Morgan and Massachusetts-based Nipmuc Elder Larry Spotted Crow Mann. ​ “Jacob’s Pillow’s identity is entwined with the beauty and majesty of our land and natural surroundings. It is important to welcome back to the Pillow the original inhabitants of this land with a landmark celebration that will not only assemble local elders and artists, but also a premiere company like Red Sky Performance, whose work acts as a vehicle for storytelling and transformation,” says Jacob’s Pillow Director Pamela Tatge. In an interview with the Smithsonian’s American Indian Magazine, Laronde says, “The idea of Trace came from ​ ​ ​ ​ the notion that all things are traceable and what we leave behind as humans, as a culture, as a nation, and as an individual is our legacy.” In creating the work, Laronde realized all traces have origins, and then began to question the origin of Indigenous people and more specifically, Anishinaabe people.

Jones Spring 2013 Copyright 2013 Chia-Yi Seetoo All Rights Reserved Abstract The Political Kinesthetics of Contemporary Dance: Taiwan in Transnational Perspective By Chia-Yi Seetoo University of California, Berkeley Doctor of Philosophy in Performance Studies Professor Miryam Sas, Chair This dissertation considers dance practices emerging out of post-1980s conditions in Taiwan to theorize how contemporary dance negotiates temporality as a political kinesthetic performance. The dissertation attends to the ways dance kinesthetically responds to and mediates the flows of time, cultural identity, and social and political forces in its transnational movement. Dances negotiate disjunctures in the temporality of modernization as locally experienced and their global geotemporal mapping. The movement of performers and works pushes this simultaneous negotiation to the surface, as the aesthetics of the performances registers the complexity of the forces they are grappling with and their strategies of response. By calling these strategies “political kinesthetic” performance, I wish to highlight how politics, aesthetics, and kinesthetics converge in dance, and to show how political and affective economies operate with and through fully sensate, efforted, laboring bodies.
